About stress and coping notes
GoConqr OriginalUsing stress and coping notes
These notes offer different ways into the unit. Stress as a bodily response introduces the nervous system, while Coping with stress describes problem-focused and emotion-focused coping. Other notes look at workplace stress, daily hassles and research into the effects of stress on the immune system.
Start with Stress if you want to review how stress is defined and how appraisal fits into the transactional model. Then read Coping with stress to compare the ways people respond to a stressor. For research revision, turn to Stress studies and evaluations.
From reading to recall
After reading a section, cover it and try to explain its main points in your own words. Return to the notes to check what you missed. When you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page; use a quiz when you are ready to test your recall. Pick a topic and explore the notes that cover it.
Frequently asked questions
Which note should I start with?
Start with “Stress” for an introduction to defining stress and the transactional model, including primary and secondary appraisal. If you are concentrating on coping, “Coping with stress” is a useful alternative: it sets out problem-focused and emotion-focused coping, giving you two approaches to compare.
What topics do these notes cover?
The notes cover bodily responses to stress, workplace stress, daily hassles and coping. They also include research into stress and the immune system. You can use “Stress studies and evaluations” to review research, or “Work place stress” to focus on sources of stress at work.
Are these notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed here is free to open and study, and you do not need an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
