Question

Ryan, age 8, was cut from the school soccer team. After the initial disappointment, he became a boy scout, which he really enjoyed. Now as an adult, when he didn't get into graduate school, rather than become depressed, Ryan found a job in his field that he enjoys, and plans to try again later. This is an example of

the steeling or inoculation effect of some stressful experiences. T/F

Answer 1

Answer is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress inoculation effect, which is abbreviated as SIT, is known to be a method in psychoterapy, which is adopted in preparing people or patient to be able to handle stress with ease when they encounter it in the future. This will help them not to be depressed, because the effect of the stress will be minimal.

The word 'inoculation' means the act of preparing people in becoming resistant to the propable effect of stress.

In this case, Ryan has been prepared after the initial disappointment, and that was why he was able to handle the effect of stress when he didn't get into graduate school.
