Answer to Problem 1TYS

Correct answer: People who view their work as a calling often experience flow, a focused state of consciousness, with diminished awareness of themselves and of time. Hence, option c. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

People who love their work say that their work is a calling. Here, they experience flow. When the person experiences flow, they would not be aware about the time and self with a focused consciousness. People who say that their work is a calling are very much engrossed in their work and will not be aware about the things happening around them.

Hence, option c. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “stress”. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Stress is a feeling of strain and pressure. People who love their work will not experience stress. They experience flow. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option b. is given as “apathy”. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Apathy is a lack of feeling, interest, emotion, and concern. People who love their work will not experience apathy. They experience flow. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option d. is given as “facilitation”. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Facilitation or social facilitation is the tendency of a person to perform differently in the presence of others than when they are alone. People who love their work will not experience facilitation. They experience flow. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion
People who love their work will experience a flow.
