Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Between Sense of Coherence, Engagement in Health Behaviors, and Individual Coping Style written by Dean Todd Misener and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress is a pervasive issue among traditional college students; affecting their choice in health behaviors, and overall academic performance. What is not clear is why some students, despite the pervasiveness of stressors are able to do well in school and maintain/improve their health, while other students struggle to maintain their health and do poorly in school. Aaron Antonovsky theorized that when confronted with a stressor a person with a high sense of coherence (SOC) will be motivated to cope, believe the challenge is understood and that the necessary resources to cope with the stressor are available. Overall, Antonovsky theorized that SOC is a significant factor contributing to overall health. The purpose of this study was to measure sense of coherence (SOC) in a sample of traditional aged U.S. college students, measure its relationship to perceived stress, coping style, health behaviors, and grade point average, and determine if coping style serves as a mediator between SOC and the engagement in pro-health behaviors. A total of 380 college students aged 18-24 years of age completed a 59 item questionnaire measuring sense of coherence, dispositional coping, perceived stress, and health behavior engagement. Correlational, regression and mediation analyses were used to analyze the data. The results of this study revealed that within the study population, SOC had a statistically significant positive relationship with the engagement in pro-health behaviors, problem-focused coping, and GPA; and had a statistically significant negative correlation with perceived stress, and emotion-focused coping. The results of a multi-variable mediation analysis using a bootstrapping statistical resampling process showed that emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping acted as a statistically significant mediator between SOC and the engagement in pro-health behaviors within the study population. Overall, within this study dispositional coping was a significant mediator in the relationship between SOC and health behavior engagement, students scoring higher in SOC used fewer emotion-focused coping styles, reported lower perceived stress and had significantly higher term and cumulative GPA's than those students who scored lower SOC. Limitations and implications of this study are discussed.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Academic stress leads to coping strategies in college students. These coping strategies are the result of appraisal. Appraisal of academic stress may be correlated with the coping strategies of poor eating and inadequate sleep; and coping strategies may be directly correlated with subjective well-being. The Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (TTSC) published by Lazarus and Folkman in 1984 was used to link student coping styles, such as inadequate diet and insufficient sleep, to perceived stress. The researchers hypothesized that the negative relationship between stress and life satisfaction would be stronger for individuals who utilized inadequate diet and insufficient sleep as a maladaptive coping strategy. The results indicated that diet did not have a significant relationship between life satisfaction and perceived stress but is more strongly related to perceived stress than it is to life satisfaction. Emotion-focused coping from TTSC may be consistent with these findings, as well as Hans Selye's Stress Response theory, suggesting that inadequate diet may more likely play a role in the physiological experience of stress than the psychological experiences of stress, which is how TTSC interprets stress. Insufficient sleep was found to be a significant predictor of life satisfaction, which indicates that when students are sleeping well, they feel better about their lives. Additionally, students that achieved more sufficient sleep identified themselves with lower levels of stress. This study addressed the gap in research by connecting the constructs of perceived stress, coping strategies (diet and sleep), and well-being (life satisfaction) into one study rather than looking at the impact of these constructs on well-being separately. The results and findings of this study may provide assistance to college administrators on the design and delivery of health-related programs and services"--Page 9.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examination stress and test anxiety are pervasive problems in modern society. As the information age continues to evolve, test scores will become even more important than they are today in evaluating applicants for demanding jobs and candidates for admission into highly competitive educational programs. Because test anxiety gen- ally causes decrements in performance and undermines academic achievement, the development of effective therapeutic interventions for reducing its adverse effects will continue to be an important priority for counselors, psychologists, and educators. Alleviating test anxiety will also serve to counteract the diminished access to edu- tional and occupational opportunities that is frequently experienced by test-anxious individuals. As its title promises, this volume provides a state-of-the-art evaluation of the nature, antecedents, correlates, and consequences of examination stress and test anxiety. Professor Zeidner’s cogent and comprehensive analysis of the affective, cognitive, somatic, and behavioral manifestations of test anxiety are grounded in the extensive knowledge he has gained from his own research on the assessment and treatment of test anxiety. This work has also benefitted from the author’s lo- standing and productive collaboration with leading contributors to test anxiety theory and research, and his active participation in national and international conferences devoted to understanding test anxiety, including those convened by the Society for Test Anxiety Research (STAR).

Book excerpt: Drawing from groundbreaking research, psychologist and award-winning teacher Kelly McGonigal, PhD, offers a surprising new view of stress—one that reveals the upside of stress, and shows us exactly how to capitalize on its benefits. You hear it all the time: stress causes heart disease; stress causes insomnia; stress is bad for you! But what if changing how you think about stress could make you happier, healthier, and better able to reach your goals? Combining exciting new research on resilience and mindset, Kelly McGonigal, PhD, proves that undergoing stress is not bad for you; it is undergoing stress while believing that stress is bad for you that makes it harmful. In fact, stress has many benefits, from giving us greater focus and energy, to strengthening our personal relationships. McGonigal shows readers how to cultivate a mindset that embraces stress, and activate the brain's natural ability to learn from challenging experiences. Both practical and life-changing, The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress, but a toolkit for getting better at it—by understanding, accepting, and leveraging it to your advantage.

Book excerpt: "Most people believe their emotions are automatic reactions to events. Events happen and trigger emotions, and that is all there is to it. Few realize that their emotions are determined by what they think, by how they interpret events, and not by the events themselves. Epstein provides techniques for gaining control of emotions and putting them to positive use while also developing the theoretical insights behind such control."--

Download or read book Stress Challenges and Immunity in Space written by Alexander Choukèr and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how stress – either psychological or physical – can activate and/or paralyse human innate or adaptive immunity. Adequate immunity is crucial for maintaining health, both on Earth and in space. During space flight, human physiology is specifically challenged by complex environmental stressors, which are most pronounced during lunar or interplanetary missions. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the book identifies the impact of these stressors – the space exposome – on immunity as a result of (dys-)functions of specific cells, organs and organ networks. These conditions (e.g. gravitation changes, radiation, isolation/confinement) affect immunity, but at the same time provide insights that may help to prevent, diagnose and address immune-related health alterations. Written by experts from academia, space agencies and industry, the book is a valuable resource for professionals, researchers and students in the field of medicine, biology and technology. The chapters “The Impact of Everyday Stressors on the Immune System and Health”, “Stress and Radiation Responsiveness” and “Assessment of Radiosensitivity and Biomonitoring of Exposure to Space adiation” are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
