LU
Individuals differ in how they experience situations/events. Multiple persons may
experience the same situation but respond differently. The perception of the event
as a crisis is connected to one’s available resources and coping skills. A person who
experiences the event as a crisis will often have fewer resources or coping skills to
work through a crisis. When this occurs, the individual’s perception of the crisis may
cause some dysfunction in their life.

Although socioeconomic status may impact the resources that may be available to
an individual to address a situation, this is not part of the trilogy of the definition of a
O
crisis.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 4]
Although disability status may be a component for some who perceive a situation as
N
a crisis, disability status in itself is not a constant variable correlated with the trilogy
of the definition of a crisis.
