If a student thinks only about a problem under stress and not about solutions, what may happen?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stress and confusion may increase
Repeatedly focusing on the threat or difficulty without identifying a next action can increase rumination, helplessness, and confusion. A more effective response is to define the problem, separate controllable from uncontrollable parts, and choose one manageable step. Solution-focused thinking does not erase stress immediately, but it can provide direction instead of leaving the student stuck.
