Ernest is 42 years old and has been out of work for two months. He lost his position as a program manager when his company merged with another larger company.

Based on conservation of resources theory, how would you interpret his behavior?
  a. Ernest is just waiting for the right opportunity to come along and there is nothing problematic about this strategy.
  b. Ernest is experiencing the effects of loss of status following the termination.
  c. The stressful event probably triggered some underlying vulnerability to depression.
  d. Ernest will probably soon function at an even higher level following the traumatic incident.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
