Behavior Modification and Stress
We will continue to modify our behavior but from a different aspect of seeing how we can modify and manage our stress. Make sure you begin this assignment with a cover sheet and consult other resources and cite your sources to determine what key things are needed to
deal with stress.
As you read in your text, stress can cause physical and emotional health challenges if it is not adequately managed. Use this activity to explore potential strategies to deal with your stress better. Answer the following questions using research in your text and online.
Please make sure you define stress and consult research….personal opinions are always welcome but in psychology we must always use empirical evidence.
1. When you think of stress, what is the first thing that comes to mind?
2. What is the most stressful thing happening in your life right now?
3. How are you managing your stress?
4. Of the coping styles and suggestions in your text, are there coping styles or techniques that you think might help you?
5. Do you currently use a stress reduction technique (meditation, progressive relaxation, autogenic relation, visual imagery, exercise, etc.) regularly (at least 3–4 times per week)? If so, what is your weekly routine?
6. Identify a stressor you would like to learn to cope with better and set a goal for changing the way you think or respond to the stressor.
