Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Ego-defense mechanisms, like displacement, regulate emotional distress and thus give a person protection from anxiety and stress. Everyone uses them unconsciously to protect against worthlessness and feelings of anxiety. Ego-defense mechanisms help a person cope with stress indirectly and offer psychological protection from a stressful event. Evaluation of an event for its personal meaning is primary appraisal. The medulla oblongata controls heart rate, blood pressure, and respirations and is not triggered by ego defense mechanisms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Environmental and social stressors often lead to developmental problems. Sociocultural refers to societal or cultural factors; poverty is a sociocultural factor. Stamina loss and obesity are health problems, and family relocation is a situational factor.
