Answer 1

Stress question: C- continued exposure to stress is associated with the secretion of stress-related hormones.  PTSD is not due to hassles but trauma, psychophys are both mental and physical, cataclysmic events are traumatic but usually person to person violence are the most difficult stressors

 

I would say C for the second question as well- due to social identity theory. This states that group membership creates us/them mentality and that we seek to promote our own group by negatively associating the other group
