Reason (R) : Social support increases the stress responses.

Analyzing Family Stress Assertion and Reason

Assertion (A) Analysis: Joint Family Stress

Assertion (A) states that members of joint families tend to experience less stress than those in nucleus families. Joint families typically offer a broader network of individuals (e.g., multiple generations) providing emotional, practical, and social support. This enhanced social support is often linked to better stress management and lower perceived stress levels. Therefore, Assertion (A) is considered true in a general context.

Reason (R) Analysis: Social Support and Stress

Reason (R) posits that social support increases stress responses. This contradicts established psychological principles. Social support acts as a crucial buffer, helping individuals cope with stressors and typically *reducing* the intensity of stress responses, not increasing them. Providing comfort, resources, and a sense of belonging helps mitigate negative effects of stress. Thus, Reason (R) is false.

Conclusion: Evaluating Statements

Based on the analysis:

  • Assertion (A) is true.
  • Reason (R) is false.

This corresponds to the option stating that (A) is true, but (R) is false.
