psychology

In this chapter, we have discussed several different forms of stressors, or events/situations that challenge us and may be perceived as threatening, as well as several different ways to cope with stress, and maintain happy and healthy lives.

The Discussion Prompt:

For this assignment, you are asked to identify at least 5 stressors from your life, and explain at least 1 strategy you could use to cope with each stressor. How might each coping mechanism help your stress to decrease? (You should support your coping mechanisms with sources.)

Then, reply to at least TWO of your classmates in a substantive way, adding to the discussion with at least 75 words. Feedback replies can include (but is not limited to) finding additional research that shows that at least one of the ways mentioned to cope has been empirically shown to help people cope with stress (or, if the case may be, has been shown not to be a good way to cope with stress). This should go beyond your initial post. Please remember to be respectful in your feedback.

Your initial post must be at least 150 words not including references. APA citations are NOT included in the minimum word count. 

Please refer to the Forum Rubric for the grading point system.

Do not quote and do not plagiarize! Put the information in your own words!
Make sure to cite your sources both in the body of your post and at the end in a Reference section. Do not use Wikipedia, online dictionaries, online encyclopedias, wikihow, answers.com, ehow.com or any website where the public answers questions. Research articles are excellent sources and can be found using NCLive (https://library.alamancecc.edu/library/databases), Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/), or PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). For research articles, your grade will be better if you find the full text and refer to more than just the abstract. (The abstract is the summary of the article.) The .edu and .gov are good online resources as well. APA.org, and Sciencedaily.com may also be useful. All sources should be cited in APA format. Make sure to test the link you provide in your Reference section. It should lead me to the page where you got your specific information.
