HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY: STRESS AND COPING

People react to and cope with stress in their lives in a variety of ways. Consider your midterm and final exams as an example. How stressful an experience are these for you? What are the physiological, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive reactions you usually encounter before and during your exams? In other words, what changes do you notice in your body, emotions, behavior, and thoughts? Psychologists recommend several strategies to cope with stress, including emotional, behavioral, cognitive, emotion-focused, and problem-focused methods. Which strategies do you currently use during exam time? Which methods would you consider incorporating in the future?

In at least a Four-Page essay, first describe your physiological, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive reactions to the stressor of taking exams (5 pts). Discuss two strategies (emotional, behavioral, or cognitive, emotion focused, or problem focused) or methods that you currently use to cope more effectively, explain your coping skills in terms of the strategies listed above (10 pts). Describe at least two other coping strategies you would be willing to try to alleviate the stress you experience. Again, explain these other methods in terms of the strategies listed above (10 pts). Be sure to include details from class materials, readings, and research to support your discussion. Cite your resources.

Analyzing Stereotypes

Culture is a small word that carries a lot of meaning. Unfortunately, the word is often conflated with other terms and misused. Most often, the terms culture, race, and ethnicity are used interchangeably although they are actually three distinct concepts that have some overlap. In this unit, you will learn about the differences among race, ethnicity, and culture.

In this section, you will be reviewing various isms, including sexism, heterosexism, anti-Semitism, and racism. However, before delving into those specific concepts, you will review the overarching “social phenomena that fuel them” (Carter, 2015, p. 28). Your text indicates that bias, prejudice, discrimination, and stereotypes maintain the presence of isms in our social environment. In this discussion, you will discuss stereotypes and how they affect people. You will also create a research proposal aimed at studying stereotypes.

Instructions

Identify two stereotypes, each related to a different cultural group within Hays’s ADDRESSING Model. For example, you may identify a gender-based stereotype and a stereotype based on a different culture.

  • Compare and contrast the stereotypes and their effects on the subjects of the stereotypes.

Next, describe a design for a research study related to your specialization that investigates stereotypes. You may investigate anything related to stereotypes, such as the emotional impact of stereotyping on Asian Americans.

Carter, L. D. (2015). Reflecting humanity: Biological, psychological, and sociological perspectives (2nd ed.). Dubuque, IA: Kendall Hunt.

  • Explain, briefly, what your research study plans to investigate and why it is important.
    • What ethical standards apply to your research?
    • How will you recruit participants?
    • What types of research biases will you want to avoid in your study?
  •  At least at least 350 words.

Researching Stereotypes

Stereotypes, like bias, are a social phenomenon that fuels isms. Every culture has stereotypes.

Part of understanding stereotypes more deeply requires us to answer such questions as “How are stereotypes formed?” “What attitudes, beliefs, or experiences maintain stereotypes?” and “How are stereotypes changed?” That is where research comes in. Unfortunately, it is hard to research a topic when research participants do not want to admit that they hold stereotypes, let alone use them to make life decisions.

For this section, you will address religious stereotypes and create a research study that investigates those stereotypes within a religious culture of your choice. Finally, you will evaluate how cultural and research biases will affect your study.

Instructions

Your response will have two parts. First, complete the following:

  • Identify two stereotypes about a specific religion or faith.
  • Compare and contrast the stereotypes and their effects on the subjects of the stereotypes.

Next, describe a design for a research study related to your specialization that investigates an issue related to a stereotype or is counter to a stereotype. You may investigate anything related to the faith or religion, and stereotypes. For example, if you were a chemical dependency counselor, you might investigate alcoholism in Jewish Americans.

  • Explain, briefly, what your research study plans to investigate and why this is important.
  • Articulate the cultural biases that may surface in your research and how you will manage or avoid them.
  • Explain how will you recruit participants.
  • Discern the types of research biases you will want to avoid in the study.
  •  At least at least 350 words.

Types of Writing for College and University Students

As a college or university student, writing an essay, a blog or even a research paper is inevitable. Writing for college students revolves around research papers, dissertations, book reports, articles and even essays. These are further classified in to more complex writing structures and formalities including descriptive, analytical, persuasive and critical. This can be a complex area that a student, at whatever level, ought to focus. Writing for a college, university or even high school student follows a diversified cluster of norms when striving to write a new type of assignment. Alternatively, it becomes a rational decision to opt to order for a new writing assignment.

Writing for College and University Students

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For every writing to be considered successful, a college or university writer should ensure that;

  1. The writing is highly interesting to the target audience. fictional, creative, researcher papers or essay writings all consider it imperative to customize the content to a level where the reader deems it relevant. Therefore, writing facts is inevitable for the text to achieve audience focus.
  2. Therefore, the writing has to be entirely focused on the subject matter. Take for instance, upon completing a paper, look through the paper and identify the key and consistently repeated. That will tell if the paper has remained in track with the intended output or not. It is essential to note that the whatever facts or arguments that one features align with the research writing topic.
  3. The writing has to be predictive and equally respond to the reader’s questions. It is indisputable that copywriters earn significantly some good amount of money. This is commensurate with the excellent flow of ideas demonstrated in every writing piece.

One universally accepted rule in writing is: you have to like and appreciate what you are writing. There are chances that a miracle will happen. However, in the event one does like his or her own piece of writing, then, no one else will like it. Commence writing and selecting writing topics that reflect what you have always liked.
