Which of the following is not listed as a situational stressor?

• A. Job/career
• B. Relationships
• C. Weather
• D. Financial

Answer: (C)

Situational stressors are life events or changes in your daily roles that demand adjustment and coping. They come from your environment in terms of what you’re experiencing—like starting a new job or dealing with a job loss, navigating relationship issues, or managing financial pressures. These stressors stem from specific life situations and require you to adapt your behavior, resources, or expectations.

Weather, while it can affect comfort and mood, is an environmental condition rather than a personal life event or role-related demand. It doesn’t represent a change in your life situation that you must actively manage in the same way as job, relationship, or financial stresses. So weather isn’t categorized as a situational stressor in this context.
