Stress is a normal reaction the body has when changes occur, resulting in physical, emotional, and intellectual
responses. Stress management training can help you deal with things in a healthier manner. The body’s autonomic
nervous system controls your heart rate, breathing, vision changes, and more. Its built-in stress response, the “fight-or-
flight response,” helps the body face stressful situations. When a person has long-term (chronic) stress, continued
activation of the stress response causes wear and tear on the body. Physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms
develop. Some physical symptoms are pains, aches, high blood pressure; emotional and mental symptoms are anxiety,
panic attacks; behavioral symptoms are smoking, gambling, drinking, and many more. There are three major types of
stress which are physical and environmental, psychological, and social. All these types of stress are interrelated.

Intelligence is one of the most talked-about subjects in psychology, there is no standard definition of what exactly
constitutes intelligence. Some researchers have suggested that intelligence is a single, general ability. Others believe
that intelligence encompasses a range of aptitudes, skills, and talents. Intelligence has been a controversial topic
throughout psychology's history. Despite the substantial interest in the subject, there is still considerable disagreement
about what components make up intelligence. In addition to questions of exactly how to define intelligence, the debate
continues today about whether accurate measurements are even possible. At various points throughout recent history,
researchers have proposed some different definitions of intelligence. While these definitions can vary considerably
from one theorist to the next, current conceptualizations tend to suggest that intelligence is the ability to learn from
experience, recognize problems, and solve problems. Intelligence is the global capacity to understand the world, think
rationally, and use available resources effectively when faced with challenges. There are many theories of intelligence
some of which are: Uni factor theory, two-factor theory, theory of primary mental abilities, hierarchical model of
intelligence, structure of intellect model, theory of multiple intelligence, triarchic theory of intelligence, and PASS
model of intelligence.
32. What are the different dimensions of the structure of the intellect model? (1)
33. Which approach considers intelligence as an aggregate of abilities? explain it in detail. (2)
