Question

Janel is stuck in a major traffic jam, and has gone nowhere in over 45 minutes. Based on what you know about the psychological factors that contribute to stress (e.g., pressure, frustration, etc.), discuss the factors that are contributing to her rising stress levels and note how she might respond to the stress if the traffic doesn’t clear up soon.

Answer 1

Most likely she is feeling frustration because she cant move, pressure because she surely has somewhere to be, and she may respond with irrational behavior such as honking the horn excessively and/or yelling out the window<span />
