Book The Indirect Association of Personality with Perceived Stress as Mediated by Humor in University Students During COVID 19

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humor is known to be an effective coping strategy due to its stress-reducing capabilities (Overholser, 1992; Peterson & Seligman, 2004). However, more recent research into humor has revealed it can also lead to increased levels of stress (Fritz et al., 2017; Martin et al., 2003). Extraverts tend to have positive emotions and are better able to cope with stressful emotions (Ford et al., 2016). However, individuals higher in neuroticism are more likely to engage in maladaptive types of coping strategies and humor (Greengross et al., 2011), putting them at a higher risk for increased stress levels. The current research utilized a two-study design to further explore the relation between personality factors and perceived stress by examining whether humor mediates this association. In Study 1, 342 undergraduate students completed personality, coping humor, and stress measures. Contrary to the hypothesis, coping humor did not significantly mediate personality and perceived stress. Study 2 extended these findings by examining four humor styles as mediators in 311 undergraduate students. The link between extraversion and stress was mediated by affiliative and self-enhancing humor, where affiliative humor led to increased stress, and self-enhancing humor led to decreased stress. The relation between neuroticism and perceived stress was mediated by self-enhancing and self-defeating humor, where decreased use of self-enhancing humor and increased use of self-defeating humor led to increased stress levels. These findings demonstrate how using humor to cope with stress can be vary for individuals who differ on personality dimensions.

Book The Relationship Between Hardiness Coping Skills and Stress in Graduate Students

Download or read book The Relationship Between Hardiness Coping Skills and Stress in Graduate Students written by Melissa Gerson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between hardiness, coping skills, and stress was examined in a sample of 101 psychology graduate students from a Midwestern graduate school. They were administered a demographic survey, The Personal Views Survey II (PVS-II), The Coping Response Inventory (CRI), and The Daily Stress Inventory (DSI). Results indicated that this sample of psychology graduate students obtained a mean Total Hardiness score, and mean stress score (i.e., I/E ratio), which fall within the average range. They scored within the "somewhat above average range" for the following approach coping scales: logical analysis, positive reappraisal, seeking guidance and support, and problem solving. The mean scores for the avoidant coping scales cognitive avoidance and seeking alternative rewards were within the average range. The acceptance and resignation scale was slightly below average while emotional discharge was slightly above average. Significant findings include the following: female students were found to score higher on hardiness than male students; students who regarded their financial situation as good scored higher on hardiness than those who regarded their financial situation as fair/poor; minority students reported more stress than white students; and employed students reported experiencing more stress than students who were not employed. Stress was found to positively correlate with the following coping skills: logical analysis, cognitive avoidance, acceptance and resignation, and emotional discharge. Age was found to positively correlate with the coping skill, seeking guidance and support. These results were consistent with previous research with regards to the relationship between hardiness and stress in that students in this sample who scored higher in hardiness were found to perceive stressors as less stressful than those students who did not score high in hardiness. Students who scored higher in hardiness were also found to use more effective coping skills than those students who scored low in hardiness. Although students who did not score high in hardiness endorsed more feelings of stress, they were not found to use more avoidant coping skills. Hardiness was related to more effective methods of coping; however, lack of hardiness did not lead to less effective coping. Coping skills were not found to influence how students perceived stress. Significant predictors of stress were cognitive avoidance, total hardiness, and logical analysis.

Book Efficacy of Coping Skills and Self care Behaviors of Graduate Psychology Students in Their First Semester

Download or read book Efficacy of Coping Skills and Self care Behaviors of Graduate Psychology Students in Their First Semester written by Morgan Green and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between coping styles, self-care strategies and perceived stress level during the first semester of enrollment in a graduate program in psychology. Participants were 67 graduate students enrolled either in a Counseling Psychology master's program or a Clinical Psychology doctoral program at a Pacific Northwest university. Self report questionnaires were used to assess levels of perceived stress, coping styles, self-care practices, and demographics. Although there were no overall significant differences related to perceived stress, there were significant correlations within demographic sub-groups related to coping styles and self-care practices. Future research is necessary to determine if these self-care patterns might vary for practitioner focused versus research focused programs and to determine the stability of the self-care patterns throughout graduate training and career establishment.

Book Personality Trait Pathways to Allostatic Load

Download or read book Personality Trait Pathways to Allostatic Load written by Elizabeth Ann Milad and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The present study investigated prospective pathways from personality traits via coping styles and coping-related health behaviors to a latent construct of biomarkers for cumulative physiological health risk (allostatic load) in a national sample. Methods: Using three waves of prospective data from the Midlife in the United States study (MIDUS), path analyses using bootstrapping procedures were used to test direct and indirect effects (via coping styles, general activity level, moderate/vigorous physical activity, lifetime history of regular smoking, and alcohol consumption) of personality traits on a latent measurement model of allostatic load (N = 1,054). Results: Direct 10-year prospective effects of greater conscientiousness on lower (healthier) allostatic load and greater extraversion on greater (less healthy) allostatic load were observed. Consistent with hypothesized behavioral pathways, the relationships between conscientiousness and extraversion on allostatic load were mediated by general activity levels. Alcohol consumption and physical activity were associated with lower levels of allostatic load, but did not act as prospective mediators on allostatic load. No effects of neuroticism, openness to experience, and coping styles on allostatic load were observed. Conclusions: The results provide further evidence of conscientiousness0́9 standing as a marker of health via cumulative physiological health risk. The prospective indirect (mediated) effect by general activity suggests a greater perception of engagement in activities of day-to-day life is a pathway through which conscientious and extraverted individuals experience a healthier physiological profile. Further development of the content domains and predictors of perceptions of being active represents a potentially fruitful focus of related research.

Book Personality Coping and Performance Relationships Among Anxiety and Impulsivity Relevant Coping Strategies and Performance on Academic Examinations

Download or read book Personality Coping and Performance Relationships Among Anxiety and Impulsivity Relevant Coping Strategies and Performance on Academic Examinations written by Dennis James Gallagher and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present research was conducted to assess the relationships among personality, coping, and academic performance. One conceptualization of personality (Gray, 1972, 1981) suggests that the independent dimensions of anxiety and impulsivity reflect underlying neurological systems that lead individuals to be relatively more sensitive to rewards or punishments in the environment. Additionally, this model of personality argues that Neuroticism, as measured by the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI), reflects the joint intensity of the punishment and reward systems. It was hypothesized that these personality variables are associated with coping strategies that serve to manage potentially detrimental tendencies, leading to enhanced academic performance. Moreover, it was hypothesized that higher overall intensity should be related to more reported coping in the service of managing impulsive and anxious tendencies. The present data support the idea that anxiety is consistently related to coping styles and, further, coping styles are predictive of academic performance. However, the data clearly suggest that EPI Neuroticism does not reflect the joint intensity of the punishment and reward systems and, in fact, does reflect the anxiety dimension. The data are suggestive, but less clear with respect to impulsivity. The lack of clarity in the data is likely a measurement artifact. The data also suggest that it may be important to consider the relevance of coping situations to individuals' personality. Measurement issues pertaining to validation of the model as well as issues pertaining to the relevance of personality/coping stimuli are discussed.
