Document Summary
Section 1a: my score was 437 on the health risks survey. My life has been very stressful these past few months living alone, going to college, paying rent and utilities bills, and failing one of my major course. It can be very difficult for me to handle my stress, accepted a part time job and schoolwork"s on top. Section 1b: problem-focused coping is changing the source of the stress and emotional-focused coping is oriented toward managing the emotions that accompany the perception of the stress. Selye says, stress first as a stimulus and then as a response and lazarus insisted that person"s perception of situation is the most significant component of stress. Situational and psychological factors contribute to stress and that"s one thing selye ignored. Selye"s is considered incomplete because he ignored a person"s interpretation of stressful events and emotional. Lazarus is based on a person"s feeling of vulnerability, ability to cope, and threat than on the stressful even itself.
