第4問 次の文章とグラフを読み、下の問い（A・B）に答えよ

It is well known that stress affects workers' health. When workers are not well, they lend to miss many days of work every year. The organizations they work for are, in turn, not as productive as they should be. However, levels of stress in different occupations, and the ways that workers relieve such stress, have been studied in depth. The organizational Psychology Association (OPA) , therefore, conducted a survey on the affects of stress on workers in four occupations and on the methods they use to relieve workplace stress.

The OPA researchers interviewed 100 workers in each of four occupations: nurses, air traffic controllers (ATCs), computer programmers, and junior high school teachers. The workers were asked about the kinds of stress symptoms they had and how they dealt with stressful situation.
　The four types of stress symptoms mentioned most often were high blood pressure, overeating, depression, and sleeplessness. The OPA researchers found that workers in the different occupations reported different frequencies of these stress symptoms.
The nurses reported that they are more when they felt stressed. The ATCs were more affected by high blood pressure than other disorders. Many of the computer programmers tended to feel nervous and anxious. The teachers reported that they could not sleep well.

The researchers found that workers used five main methods to fight stress both at work and at home. They were interested in how these ways of fighting stress differed in the four occupations. The figure below shows how people in the four occupations relieved stress.



The nurses interviewed claimed that talking to others and shopping were the usual ways to relieve stress. They also said that they liked listening to music from time to time. The ATCs claimed that the responsibility for hundreds of lives on the job put a lot of pressure on them. They relieved this stress by shopping or sleeping, and when possible by playing sports. The computer programmers, on the other hand, preferred sleeping and playing sports as the best ways to escape the effects of any stress. They said that shopping, talking to others, and listening to music were less frequently used methods of stress relief for them. The teachers preferred talking with other teachers as well as listening to music, particularly classical music, as the best ways to relive stress.

　The OPA researchers concluded that workers in different jobs have different types of stress symptoms and employ different ways of relieving stress.
