There`s only one thing I`m 3 (to worry) about. It mustn`t be just rich countries which benefit from peace and new 4 (science) ideas.

Who leads the least stressful life: (A) Single woman, (B) Married men, (C) Divorced people? 3. What are the major stressors to the family? 4. Are some people more vulnerable to excess stress than others?    

A certain degree of stress is unavoidable in our life. But the pressures of modern urbanized societies can push stress to dangerously high levels. While we can`t completely eliminate stress, we can learn to modify our behavior in ways that lessen its harmful effects on our minds and bodies. Experts have identified a number of indicators that effect our vulnerability to stress. Some of them have to do with physical factors, some are related to mental and emotional behaviors, and some have to do with nutrition.

The following questionnaire was developed by psychologists of the Boston University Medical Center, to evaluate vulnerability to stress and to highlight those areas in which improvement can be made.

To answer the questionnaire rate each item according to how often it is true of you. Answer all the items, even if they seem not to apply.
