Stress and Health Chapter 14

When we feel severe stress, our ability to cope with it is impaired. Psychological states cause physical illness. Stress is any circumstance (real or perceived) that threatens a person’s well-being. OBJECTIVE 1| List four leading causes of death and describe health psychology’s contribution to the field of behavioral medicine. Lee Stone/ Corbis When we feel severe stress, our ability to cope with it is impaired.

Stress and Illness Stress can be adaptive. In a fearful or stress- causing situation, we can run away and save our lives. Stress can be maladaptive. If it is prolonged (chronic stress), it increases our risk of illness and health problems.

Stress and Stressors Stress is not merely a stimulus or a response. It is a process by which we appraise and cope with environmental threats and challenges. Bob Daemmrich/ The Image Works When short-lived or taken as a challenge, stressors may have positive effects. However, if stress is threatening or prolonged, it can be harmful.

Eustress v. Distress Eustress: positive stress, which results from motivating strivings and challenges Ex. Proposing Distress: stress that stems from acute anxiety or pressure. Ex. Test

Conflict Situations Person must choose between two or more options that tend to result from opposing motives Approach-Approach: you must choose between two attractive options. Ex. Ball game or concert Avoidance-Avoidance: choose between two disagreeable options. Ex. Study for Math or Physics Approach-Avoidance: Both enjoyable and disagreeable options. Ex. Man wants a raise but he’s afraid if he asks he will be fired. Double Approach Avoidance: Must choose between multiple options each of which has pleasurable and disagreeable options. Ex. Go on vacation in Paris or go to parents for vacation.

Emotional and Cognitive Reactions Anxiety: feeling of imminent but unclear threat Anger: irate reaction likely to result from frustration Fear: reaction when a stressor involves real or imagined danger. Cognitive reactions- difficulty in concentrating or thinking clearly, recurring thoughts, and poor decision making.

Behavioral Reactions Develop nervous habits: trembling, pacing, take drugs, or feel tired for no reason. Escape: Leaving the situation behind

Stress and the Heart Stress that leads to elevated blood pressure may result in Coronary Heart Disease, a clogging of the vessels that nourish the heart muscle. Plaque in coronary artery Artery clogged OBJECTIVE 5| Discuss the role of stress in causing coronary heart disease, and contrast Type A and Type B personalities.

Personality Types Type A is a term used for competitive, hard-driving, impatient, verbally aggressive, and anger-prone people. Type B refers to easygoing, relaxed people (Friedman and Rosenman, 1974). Type A personalities are more likely to develop coronary heart disease.

Health-Related Consequences Stress can have a variety of health-related consequences. Kathleen Finlay/ Masterfile

Coping with Stress Reducing stress by changing events that cause stress or by changing how we react to stress is called problem-focused coping. OBJECTIVE 11| Explain what it means to cope with stress, and contrast problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping. Emotion-focused coping is when we cannot change a stressful situation, and we respond by attending to our own emotional needs.

Managing Stress Having a sense of control, an optimistic explanatory style, and social support can reduce stress and improve health. OBJECTIVE 15| Explain the difference between coping with stress and managing stress.

Biofeedback, Relaxation, and Meditation Biofeedback systems use electronic devices to inform people about their physiological responses and gives them the chance to bring their response to a healthier range. Relaxation and meditation have similar effects in reducing tension and anxiety. OBJECTIVE 17| Compare the benefits of biofeedback and relaxation training as stress-management techniques, and discuss meditation as a relaxation technique.
