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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.
