8. “Chronic anger affects all of us basically the same way” is true?
This statement is essentially false. The immediate physiological response to stress is consistent from one person to another. But the impact of these physiological changes can be quite different.
Each person's body will react to the stress of chronic anger in different ways. Some people may get ulcers while others have headaches or chronic back pain. These physical problems, of course, can be caused by something other than stress. But all stress will take a physical toll. Behavioral responses to anger can also vary widely. TEST 2
