Answer the following four questions | Online Homework Aiders

Need help with my Psychology question – I’m studying for my class.

The Stress and Coping Reading discussed the difference between problem-focused and emotion-focused coping.

Following is a list of stressors. For each one, give a problem-focused and an emotion-focused strategy for dealing with the stressor. Remember the problem-focused either helps fix the problem or prevent it from recurring. The emotion-focused coping is designed to change your perspective on the problem. They are both important strategies to learn.

Example: Stressor: You get in an accident and wreck your car. Problem-focused strategy: You take photographs of the accident and call the insurance company daily to check on the status of your claim. Emotion-Focused Strategy: Whenever you start to feel discouraged about not having a car, you think to yourself how lucky you are that you did not get injured in the accident.

For each of the following stressors, come up with an emotion-focused and a problem-focused strategy. See the example above.

1. Stressor: You get in a fight with your boyfriend or girlfriend.
2. Stressor: You are late for work.
3. Stressor: You get a low score on an important exam.
4. Stressor: You have a “bad hair day.”
5. Now, come up with your own. List a stressor that you experience, and give a problem-focused and an emotion-focused strategy for dealing with it.
