Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Holmes' theory of the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale suggests that any major life change, whether positive or negative, requires an adjustment period and can increase susceptibility to illness or accidents. Therefore, option B is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because Holmes' theory does not suggest that all unpleasant life experiences increase susceptibility to disease. Option C is incorrect because a score of 150-200 LCUs in a two-year period indicates a significant risk of stress-related illness, but it does not necessarily mean that one is in a major life crisis. Option D is not mentioned by Holmes' theory.
