Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the types of stressors most common among University of Cincinnati students and to assess how available social support was to them, how helpful the social support they received was and how often they received social support. Furthermore, this study sought to determine if there was a correlation between college student2s stress levels and social support. The literature review revealed that the field of social support and stress had largely ignored examining such differences as race, age, gender and cultural differences. McGrath (2000) noted that one of the least nvestigated factors in social support and stress research, whether college age or any age, had been the role of gender differences in connection with dimensions, amounts, and sources of social support. The participants for the study were undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati during the Autumn quarter of 2001. Two instruments were used, the College Student Social Support Scale (CSSSS) and the Weekly Stress inventory. The researcher surveyed 421 students. After the data was collected the researcher analyzed data utilizing SPSS software. The students in this study, not only have similar stressors, but also had similar stress levels. The five most common stressors among all students at the University of Cincinnati were hurried to meet a deadline; being interrupted during a job, task, activity or thinking; had household chores; was told what to do; and forgetting something. This study showed most students on average had accessible and helpful social support networks and were able to access their social support networks frequently. The results from this study showed all student2s average of social support availability score to be 13-15 points higher then their frequency of social support score. The difference in scores could be because people have a hard time asking for help when they need it. Furthermore, it is possible that students were so busy they did not have enough time to always seek out help form their social support networks. Females reported higher social support accessibility scores found social support more helpful and used their social support networks more frequently then male students at the University of Cincinnati. This study found no significant correlation between student stress and social support scores.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between stress and well-being among online undergraduate college students, and to explore the role of social support as a potential moderator in this relationship. This study utilized cross-sectional survey data collected from 175 undergraduate students enrolled exclusively in online courses during the spring 2021 semester at an urban, public university in the midsouth US. Roughly 65% of the sample was comprised of nontraditional-aged students, those 24 years and older. A series of MANOVAs revealed statistically significant differences in perceived stress and social support across age, gender, and race. Regression results revealed that perceived stress and social support account for 36% of the variance in online college students well-being, with additional evidence suggesting that social support functions as a main effect and not a buffering effect on the well-being of these students. Significant findings of this study highlight the diverse perspectives of stress and support among online college students and draws attention to the impact of stress and support on online students subjective well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the individual whose health or happiness has been ravaged by an inability to cope with the effects of job-related stress, the costs involved are clear. But what price do organizations and nations pay for a poor fit between people and their work environments? Only recently has stress been seen as a contributory factor to the productivity and health costs of companies and countries but as studies of stress-related illnesses and deaths show, stress imposes a high cost on individual health and well-being as well as organizational productivity. This book examines stress in organizational contexts. The authors review the sources and outcomes of job-related stress, the methods used to assess levels and consequences of occupational stress, along with the strategies that might be used by individuals and organizations to confront stress and its associated problems. One chapter is devoted to examining an extreme form of occupational stress – burnout, which has been found to have severe consequences for individuals and their organizations. The book closes with a discussion of scenarios for jobs and work in the new millennium, and the potential sources of stress that these scenarios may generate The book is a comprehensive, thought-provoking resource for Ph.D. students, academics, and other professionals working to minimize or eliminate the sources of stress in the workplace.
Download or read book Perceived Stress Coping and Adequacy of Social Support written by Kia K. Åsberg and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress is a widespread concept commonly associated with psychological and medical problems that may impair an individual's functioning and incur costs on society. Alarming rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and other stress-related problems have been found among college students. This study argues that reducing emotional and financial stress-related costs may be possible through increasing public and professional awareness of moderating variables, such as social support and coping resources. 241 college students completed measures about perceived stress, life events, satisfaction with social support, coping strategies, and psychological functioning. Results from correlational, regression, and structural equation modeling procedures indicated that stress, inadequate social support, and escape-avoidance coping were related to higher levels of depression and lower life satisfaction in both males and females. Social support functioned as a moderator of stress in determining negative outcomes, primarily during high stress. Specifically, the interaction between stress and social support predicted depression in the combined sample, anxiety in males, and life satisfaction in females. In addition, the present study highlights the importance of accounting for gender in research concerning stress, social support, coping, and outcomes. Finally, limitations and suggestions for future research will be discussed.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Media Use and Well Being written by Leonard Reinecke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Media Use and Well-Being serves as the first international review of the current state of this fast-developing area of research. The volume provides a multifaceted perspective on the beneficial as well as the detrimental effects of media exposure on psychological health and well-being. As a "first-mover," it will define the field of media use and well-being and provide an essential resource for research and teaching in this area. The volume is structured along four central considerations: Processes presents concepts that provide a theoretical bridge between media use and well-being, such as psychological need satisfaction, recovery from stress and strain, self-presentation and self-enhancement, or parasocial interactions with media characters, providing a comprehensive understanding of the underlying processes that drive psychological health and well-being through media. Moderators examines both risk factors that promote negative effects on well-being and protective factors that foster positive media effects. Contexts bridges the gap between theory and "real life" by illustrating how media use can influence well-being and satisfaction in very different life domains, covering the full spectrum of everyday life by addressing the public, private, and work spheres. Audiences takes a look at the influence of life phases and life situations on the interplay of media use and well-being, questioning whether various user groups differ with regard to the effects of media exposure. Bringing together the expertise of outstanding international scholars from multiple disciplines, including communication, media psychology, social psychology, clinical psychology, and media education, this handbook sheds new light on the role of media in influencing and affecting emotions.
Download or read book College Students Sense of Belonging and Social Support written by Stephanie Bozak and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people will experience daily stressors and at least one potentially traumatic event in their lifetime. Although it was initially thought that those exposed to difficulties would experience poor developmental outcomes, many seem to adjust and function well. People who function well despite the adversities they face are considered to be resilient. Resilience or resiliency refers to the dynamic process by which positive adaptation occurs within the context of adversity. It describes the way in which individuals utilize both internal and external resources, to overcome adversity or threats to their development. Although there have been many research studies looking at social support as a factor in resilience, and there are some studies indicating that social support is related to sense of belonging, there has been little research focusing on sense of belonging as a factor in resilience. The purpose of this study was to examine whether social support, sense of belonging, and perceived stress are correlated with resilience. Two hundred and six University of Hartford students completed a survey which included measures of social support (MSPSS), sense of belonging (SOBI-A and SOBI-P), perceived stress (PSS), and resilience (CD-RISC). It was hypothesized that sense of belonging would be positively correlated with social support, and that sense of belonging and social support would be negatively correlated with perceived stress. It was also hypothesized that sense of belonging, social support, and perceived stress would be correlated with resilience and that gender differences would exist. Results of the study indicated that social support and sense of belonging were correlated with each other and with resilience. Results also indicated that perceived stress was also correlated with resilience and that there were some gender differences. The results of the study are further discussed along with implications and future directions.
