The indication of the stress level in the first week was recorded as the need to develop a stabilizing routine for personal life and school assignments. The high peak noted at week three was indicated as an emotional situation that concerned a dear family member's deteriorating health condition. Weeks four and five displayed that there was still a high level of stress, but that there seems to be a slight drop, possibly due to stabilizing a better routine. At week 6, the final baseline measurement reveals a significant drop in stress, when checking the Perceived Stress Scale for that week, it indicated the level of stress was lower due to receiving an engagement…
For this experiment, we used a stress related quiz from MacArthur SES and Health Network. This quiz is designed to test the subjects stress levels before and after the independent variable is manipulated. The quiz is written in a way that the subjects will have a harder time knowing what we are trying to measure. The test has 10 questions and a scale for scoring subjects after the test is complete.…
We will be conducting a survey by having students at Cal State Fullerton from the classes Dr. Espinoza conducts as well as colleagues from other classes answer a survey questionnaire. Being that one out of five college students have reported feeling stressed (CDC, 2012) we will make a detailed survey that will help us determine the underlying factors and main stressors that increase the average college students stress level. Our survey will take approximately five to ten minutes to complete and will be anonymous. However, we will ask students to write their class status on the survey which will help us to determine if stress levels overall increase, decrease or remain the same the longer the participants have been enrolled in…

A second problem when conducting research into causes of stress is the validity of measurements. Validity refers to whether the results measure what they are supposed to measure and this is often affected by the research method. The self report method is often questioned in terms of validity as participants have the ability to give socially desirable answers and steer away from the truth. In the study by Kanner, questionnaires were posted out to participants and a Hassles and uplifts scale was asked to be completed every month for 9 months and the Berkman life events scale after 10 months. This study, due to the use of self report lacks in validity, as researches are unsure as to whether data obtained reflects the true opinions of participants, which is an issue when trying to apply to everyday life. However the self report method is useful, despite it lacking in validity. It gives participants the freedom to write about their own subjective feelings and due to stress being individually perceived differently, it is useful in tailoring treatment to individuals to meet their needs.…

Reflection allows an individual to identify the reasons or purpose of understanding the outcome of a particular situation in depth in term of emotions on thought and feeling on the topic area. In addition, Reflection is something that we do implicitly as part of being human, underpinning our identities through a process of negotiation between our sense of self and our experiences of others (Demetriou, 2000, p.210). Therefore, I have implemented this quote in my professional and personal goals I wanted and have achieved thought-out the process of the module.

We’ve all had the feeling before. Your stomach is in knots. Your muscles are tense. You feel defeated. You feel low and unhappy and when you try to think of a solution, or of a way out, your mind goes blank.(Pause for nonverbal reaction) You, my friend are stressed. Hans Selye coined the word, “stress,” back in 1936. Selye defined stress as the “non-specific response of the body to any demand for change.” We also know stress as a result of demands placed on physical or mental energy. Today…
The results that were of greatest surprise to me regarded stress. Approximately two thirds of respondents claimed that stress did not have any influence on academic performance though exactly half reported to have average levels of stress (Hossain, 2016). This suggests that though a few members of the community claim high levels of stress and its influence on declining health performance, overall people have their stress under…

Before transferring to Georgian Court University, I had already attended two other colleges. I lived in a dorm my freshmen year at Ramapo and decided that was not for me. After leaving Ramapo, I decided to take a few semesters at Brookdale Community College in order to fulfill some requirements while deciding where exactly was the right place for myself to continue with my education. After searching through many brochures and getting first hand details about schools from people I am acquainted with, I was overcome with joy when I found Georgian Court. Since I am double majoring in both English and Education, it is hard to find schools that offer the two as a pair as well as offer the special endorsement for teaching students with disabilities. Georgian Court is also one of the top teaching schools, with a very high rate of job placement after graduation, which was another thing that captivated me. The economy is very unpredictable at this point in time and it is only plausible to choose the very best school to go to that is well known for the extraordinary practices in the field of study you want to pursue. Here at Georgian Court I have found everything I have been looking for.…
