Your answers are as follows:
11. True: A person with good self-esteem is more likely to have the confidence and belief in themselves to try new things.
12. True: Stress can be both positive and negative, depending on the situation and how one reacts to it. Positive stress, also known as eustress, can motivate and energize a person, while negative stress, or distress, can have detrimental effects on physical and mental health.
13. True: Giving away prized possessions can be a warning sign that a person is considering suicide. It is important to take such signs seriously and seek help for the person in question.
14. False: The correct hormone released in the fight-or-flight response is adrenaline, not bile. Adrenaline helps prepare the body for a quick physical response to a perceived threat.
15. True: The media, including advertising, social media, and entertainment, can have a significant impact on a person's self-esteem. Images and messages portrayed in the media can shape perceptions of beauty, success, and worth, often leading to comparisons and feelings of inadequacy.
16. False: Resilient individuals have the ability to bounce back from problems or crises. They are able to adapt and recover, often gaining strength and learning from the experience.
17. False: Heredity does play a part in shaping a person's personality. Genetic factors contribute to various aspects of personality, such as temperament, intelligence, and predispositions for certain behaviors.
18. True: In therapy, health care professionals, including psychologists and psychiatrists, are bound by laws and ethical guidelines to keep conversations private. This confidentiality is crucial to foster trust and create a safe space for individuals seeking help.
19. False: The need for repeated hand-washing is not indicative of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), where individuals feel compelled to engage in repetitive behaviors or rituals.
20. True: Arachnophobia is a common specific phobia characterized by an intense fear or anxiety specifically related to spiders. It is among the most commonly reported phobias.
