Psychological Responses to Stress01:20

Psychological Responses to Stress

45
Psychological responses to stress encompass the various cognitive and emotional reactions individuals experience when faced with challenging or threatening situations, such as a job loss. Prolonged exposure to stressors can disturb emotional balance, increasing negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and sadness) and diminishing positive emotions (e.g., joy and satisfaction). These persistent emotional shifts are associated with an increased risk of both physical illness and mental health issues, such...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

61
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory01:20

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

184
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:...

A social support system is a structured network of personal relationships that provides assistance to individuals facing various challenges, offering a buffer against psychological and physical stressors. This network may consist of family members, friends, neighbors, colleagues, or other community members who provide resources and companionship. Social support can take many forms, including advice, emotional comfort, practical help, and companionship. Research indicates that these networks can...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused01:27

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

49
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques I

40
Stress prevention and management are crucial for maintaining well-being and building resilience. Techniques to manage stress include cultivating qualities like conscientiousness, a sense of personal control, and self-efficacy. Each of these traits significantly reduces stress and promotes healthier lifestyle choices and outcomes.
Conscientiousness
Conscientious individuals tend to be organized, responsible, and disciplined. They prioritize completing tasks and following structured routines,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Public cooperation during pandemics is vital for control.
  • High risk perception can increase emotional distress and harm mental health.
  • An adaptive risk perception pattern may balance pandemic control and mental well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify distinct risk perception profiles during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To examine the relationship between these profiles and public cooperation/mental health.
  • To determine if an adaptive risk perception pattern exists.

Main Methods:

  • Latent profile analysis to identify risk perception patterns.
  • Regression mixture models to link profiles with cooperation and emotional distress.
  • Two large-scale Chinese participant samples surveyed in early 2021.

Main Results:

  • Four risk perception profiles were identified: controllable-high-risk, uncontrollable-high-risk, ignoring-risk, and moderate-risk.
  • The controllable-high-risk profile showed the highest cooperation and lowest distress.
  • The uncontrollable-high-risk profile had high cooperation but significant distress; ignoring-risk had low cooperation and high distress.

Conclusions:

  • An adaptive risk perception pattern, characterized by controllable-high-risk perception, optimizes public cooperation during pandemics.
  • This pattern effectively balances the need for pandemic control with the protection of mental health.
  • Findings suggest interventions should focus on fostering a sense of control over pandemic risks.
