"jenn switched jobs to one that was within a half mile of her home and she could walk on most days. after about three months, her new boss announced the company was moving 15 miles outside the city. this would mean that jenn would now have an hour and half commute that involved a subway and two busses. her stressor would be considered a"a. strong stressor. b. negative stressor. c. hassle. d. positive stressor. e. crises.

C. hassle

Explanation:

It is a genuine nuisance having to commute longer than what you are used to. However, Jenn's issue cannot be defined as a true stressor, as it is something she would probably get used to in the long run.

On the other hand, real stressors would refer to work and workplace issues per se. For example, a negative stressor can be a long-term inability to avoid conflict with managers, which is directly influencing job stability and our feeling of economic safety. On the other hand, a positive stressor (or eustress) refers to the positive excitement related to events we are looking forward to, for example, our promotion.

Strong stressors and crises are related to exceptionally tough issues to overcome. For example, continuous burnout that makes us unable to cope with work is something a lot more serious than the hassle of a longer commute.
