Imagine that you and a friend are found cheating on an exam. Because the friend copied your answers, the professor decides to give him whatever score you earned. Assuming that you were not very confident about your answers, what can you conclude about your friend's stress levels?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Your friend should be more stressed than you because he relied on your answers and had no control over the situation. He has no way of knowing whether your answers were correct or not, and therefore cannot predict the score he will receive. This uncertainty and lack of control can cause a lot of stress.
