5 Psychological Reactions to Stress Anxiety:By anxiety we mean the unpleasant emotion characterized by such terms as worry, apprehension, tension, and fear. Anger and aggression Apathy and depression:learned helplessness explains how experience with uncontrollable negative events can lead to apathy and depression Cognitive impairment: Hard to concentrate and to organize their thoughts logically.

6 The Biology of Stress The alarm phase( Fight-or-flight response Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis Sympathetic & parasympathetic systems The resistance phase Adaptation The exhaustion phase

7 Hypothalamus AM AC PG Figure 14.3 Fight-or-Flight Response. The body s mobilization to attack or flee from a threatening situation.

8 The General Adaptation Syndrome(GAS) A set of responses that is displayed by all organisms in response to stress Alarm body mobilizes to confront a threat Resistance the organism attempts to cope with the threat by fleeing it or fighting it Exhaustion the organism may deplete its physiological resources

9 Figure 14.4 The General Adaptation Syndrome. According to Hans Selye, the body reacts to a stressor in three phases. In the first, alarm, the body mobilizes to confront the threat, which temporarily expends resources and lowers resistance. In the resistance phase, the body actively confronts the threat, and resistance is high. If the threat continues, the body moves into the exhaustion phase.

10 Allostasis Other Stability The multiple biological changes that allow you to adapt to stressors so your body functions within a comfortable range Allostatic load: it is affected by our past experience with the stressor, our genetic predisposition, and lifestyle factors

11 Sources of Stress Cognitive appraisal(p.593) Primary appraisal Secondary appraisal Coping Perceived control Learned helplessness Predictability

12 Sources of Stress Internal conflict (p.596) Conflict Approach-approach conflict Avoidance-avoidance conflict Approach-avoidance conflict Life s hassles Daily hassles Interruptions

20 Health-Impairing Behaviors Changing health-impairing behaviors(p.606) Precontemplation Contemplation Preparation Action Maintenance Self-test (p.607)

21 Health-Impairing Behaviors Processes that encourage change Consciousness raising / Social liberation Emotional arousal Self-reevaluation

26 Personality and Coping Hardy personality Commitment Control Challenges Optimism Pessimism True pessimism: negative expectations are anchored in past experiences of failure Defensive pessimism : a more negative outcome is expected than is warranted by the facts. A proactive coping strategy Avoiders/repressors vs. nonavoiders /sensitizers Genes and coping

27 Coping and Social Support Social support affects Survival Depression Immune system Perceived social support The subjective sense that support is available should it be needed Enacted social support Specific support that is provided to you (a meal, marriage?)
