Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Obedience

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Background:

Resilience is crucial for adapting to life's stressors and challenges.
Understanding resilience in medical students is vital for their academic and professional well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess resilience levels among medical students at Ibn El Jazzar-Sousse University, Tunisia.
To identify key factors influencing resilience in this student population.
To inform strategies for enhancing the student experience and future careers.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional study conducted in October-November 2021.
Involved undergraduate medical students at the Faculty of Medicine of Sousse.
Utilized a questionnaire including socio-demographic data and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), administered via Google Forms.

Main Results:

225 students participated; 75.1% were female, with a mean age of 21±5 years.
The average resilience score was 56.36±12.43.
Positive associations with resilience included male gender, extracurricular activities, positive peer/teacher relationships, and physical exercise. Negative associations included imposed study choices and perceived academic difficulties/poor results.

Conclusions:

University administrators should invest in resources to foster student resilience.
Implementing targeted educational and recreational interventions can improve students' capacity to manage academic challenges.
Enhancing resilience is key to improving medical students' overall quality of life.
