- Divorce (2nd most severe)
- Major illness (medical or psychiatric)
- Marriage
- Childbirth


Time limit - correct answer ✔crises are temporary situations (many experts
state a time limit of 4 to 6 weeks). There will either be a successful conclusion
to the crisis or a new homeostasis will develop. The crisis itself shouldn't be
any longer than 24-36 hours.


Disequilibrium - correct answer ✔People in the midst of crisis will be
experiencing some disequilibrium in their lives. The attributes of crises
determine that one's life will be different while in the crisis than before the
crisis.


Crises are normal - correct answer ✔Expected part of being a human. All
individuals will find themselves in crisis situations at various points in their
lives.


Subjective experience - correct answer ✔It is not caused by an event, rather
it is a reaction to the event. A conflict that is perceived as a threat to self (an
actual or perceived loss)


Loss of control - correct answer ✔Crises are strongly related to feelings of
loss of control. It is when a person feels out of control that the situation
becomes a crisis.
