Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social support has been shown to have a calming effect and promote relaxation, which can lower blood pressure and reduce stress hormone levels. Increased cortisol levels (A) are associated with stress and anxiety, so they would not have a calming effect. An external locus of control (C) refers to the belief that external factors, rather than internal ones, determine one's outcomes, which may not necessarily have a calming effect. A Type A personality (D) is typically associated with being competitive, aggressive, and prone to stress and heart disease, so it would not likely promote calmness or lower blood pressure.
