Answer 1

1.) According to Hans Selye, there are situations that threat the well being of life. These situations are called stressor. In my life the main stressors are conflict in relations, bad performance of child in the school, health problem and work pressure. Most of the stressors are external and therefore there is little control. Yet the mental confidence helps me to stand against them.

2.) The positive stressor of life helps us in development. It is called eustress. When a person finds in competition that he needs to surpass the person ahead of him, he needs to labor more. It develops his potentiality. To a student’s life competition is the path of progress. It helps them to shine tn career. Without competition a student can never establish himself. Similarly, the best student in the class always think that if he neglects in his duty, he will be lagged behind. So the students who pursue behind him cause stress in him. Such stress helps the best student to do good in the class.

In the commercial field, we also find the effect of the good stress. There are many companies that compete with each other. Such competition is helpful for the customers.

3. The internal locus of control develops the personality of an individual. They depend on the self-confidence they believe that the change of situation is dependent on themselves. On the other hand, the external locus of control makes an individual weak. They fail to realize their own fault. They blame the outside factors. They bear lack of personality. They are dependent on others. Therefore they have less control over their own personality.
