Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that while short-term stress can have beneficial effects such as promoting positive psychological change, satisfying a need for stimulation and challenge, and preparing individuals so they are less affected by future stress, chronic stress can actually weaken the immune system and increase the risk of physical illness. Therefore, resistance to physical illness is not a beneficial effect of stress.
