Answer to Question 1

According to Suls and Martin, the answer lies in understanding how the neurotic cascade is experienced. The neurotic cascade involves five distinct though interrelated processes they labeled: (1) Hyperreactivity, (2) Differential Exposure, (3) Differential Appraisal, (4) Mood Spillover, and (5) The Sting of Familiar Problems. Each mechanism in the cascade serves to reinforce the other as each prompts a series of unfortunate yet somewhat predictable set of interlocking events.

Answer to Question 2

The NEO stands for the three personality factors used in the first version of the instrument of Neuroticism (N), Extraversion (E), and Openness (O) (PI stands for personality inventory). The last two factors of Conscientiousness (C) and Agreeableness (A) were subsequently added to complete the Big Five. A useful mnemonic for remembering the Big Five is OCEAN (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism)though the factors are usually presented in the order of NEOCA, it's fine to mix the order of the factors since order does not imply importance.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
