Question 2 of 6

Which statement regarding defense mechanisms is accurate?  o Defense mechanisms are a conscious reaction to stress. Defense mechanisms operate on a subconscious level and distort reality to make it less threatening.  o Defense mechanisms are developed in response to eustress. Eustress is positive stress, such as planning a wedding, and does not require the individual to use defense mechanisms to cope.  Correct o Excessive use of defense mechanisms can compromise personal growth. Personal growth and healthy adjustment are compromised when defense mechanisms are used too much or greatly distort reality.  o Humans develop defense mechanisms to prevent immature reactions to stressful events. Individuals may use immature defenses when defense mechanisms are used in excess, but defense mechanisms are not developed to prevent immature reactions to stressful event.
