Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Holmes and Rahe's theory of stress and health, any major life change including both pleasant and unpleasant events require adjustment and increases the susceptibility to accidents and illness, and the accumulated stress from major life events, known as life change units (LCUs), can lead to a major life crisis. Therefore, option B is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because pleasant experiences do not necessarily lower susceptibility to disease. Option C is overly specific as different people may have different threshold scores for major life crisis. Option D is incorrect because improvements in one's life can also require adjustment and create stress, such as moving to a new city or starting a new job.
