Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about stress and burnout.
Hints
- Two options are false - one equates burnout with daily stress, one mislabels depersonalization.
- Depersonalization is DETACHMENT toward others, not a sense of one's own competence.
Show the answer
- A. Burnout is most tied to chronic stress in emotionally demanding roles.
- B. Appraisal shapes which emotion accompanies a stressor.
- D. Burnout has three components: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced accomplishment.
Why
The three components, appraisal shaping emotion, and burnout's tie to demanding roles are all true. Burnout is not ordinary daily stress, and depersonalization is cynical detachment toward others (not a sense of one's own competence, which is reduced accomplishment) - those two are false.
