Which of these is not one of the three dimensions of job burnout?

  1. Emotional exhaustion at work
  2. Hostility toward strangers
  3. Depersonalization of clients
  4. Diminished accomplishment
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Hostility toward strangers

1. Job burnout is a general sense of emotional exhaustion and cynicism in relation to one's job. 2. It consists of exactly three dimensions: exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished personal accomplishment. 3. Exhaustion is the feeling of having nothing more to give, depersonalization is emotional detachment from the people served, and diminished personal accomplishment is evaluating one's own work negatively. 4. Hostility toward strangers is not among the three dimensions, so it is the item that does not belong. _Source: OpenStax Psychology (1st ed., CC BY 4.0), Ch 14 "Stress, Lifestyle, and Health", section 14.2 Stressors_

What triggers a tension headache?

  1. Swelling of blood vessels and greater blood flow
  2. Tightening of the facial and of the neck muscles
  3. Narrowing of the airways of the lower lungs
  4. Depletion of lymphocytes in the bloodstream
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Tightening of the facial and of the neck muscles

1. A headache is continuous pain anywhere in the head and neck region, and the two kinds described differ in what sets them off. 2. Tension headaches are triggered by tightening and tensing of the facial and neck muscles. 3. They are the most commonly experienced kind of headache, accounting for about 42 percent of all headaches worldwide. 4. Migraine headaches are the ones thought to be caused by blood vessel swelling and increased blood flow, so that option describes the other type. _Source: OpenStax Psychology (1st ed., CC BY 4.0), Ch 14 "Stress, Lifestyle, and Health", section 14.3 Stress and Illness_
