Download or read book Creative Coping Strategies written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Stress is unavoidable and impacts daily life. College students experience academic stress and are not always prepared to cope effectively. A 2015 survey by the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors found that 60% of students reported feeling "overwhelmed" by their experience (Reetz, Bershad, LeViness & Whitlock, 2016). Different creative aptitudes may be related to differences in outcomes of coping strategies. The Transactional Model of Stress and Coping published by Lazarus and Folkman in 1984 was used to link student coping styles to academic achievement levels (Struthers, Perry, & Menec, 2000). Students who utilized creativity performed better academically (Nami, Marsooli, & Ashouri, 2014). The Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale was used to measure everyday creativity (Kaufman, 2012) to evaluate which creative domains are most related to coping with academic stress. The domains of creativity identified by Kaufman include Self/Everyday, Scholarly, Performance, Mechanical/Scientific, and Artistic creativity. The Original Academic Stress Scale measures subscales of stress related to academics (Kormi-Nouri, Macdonald, Farahani, Trost & Shokri, 2015) and was used to measure college student stress. The researchers hypothesized that Self/Everyday creativity would be most related to stress in college students from difficulties in and outside of class and from interactions with the university. Scholarly creativity was most predictive of in-class stress, but Self/Everyday creativity was also a significant predictor. None of the creative domains were significant predictors of stress outside of class. Self/Everyday creativity was most predictive of stress from interactions with the university. This research can be used to design and implement programs for effective creative coping for college students to reduce stress and improve performance. By implementing such programs, universities could save money and increase retention rates, GPAs, and quality of life for students"--Page 7.
Download or read book Academic Stressors Perceived Stress and Coping Strategies Among Undergraduate Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress is common among college students and is a predominant factor interfering with academic performance. This study evaluated how college students perceive their level of stress, the coping strategies used, and the use of resources to offset stress offered by the university. This study showed that overall, undergraduate students at JMU experienced moderate levels of stress. Pressure to succeed, balancing coursework, and lack of motivation were the most prevalent academic stressors experienced by students. This study provides evidence that perceptions of stress greatly impact student behavior and use of coping strategies. Variation in coping strategies among students highlights the importance of increased awareness to stress management resources in order to maximize student well-being and potential.
Download or read book The Role of Coping Strategies in Perceived Stress and Life Satisfaction in College Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Academic stress leads to coping strategies in college students. These coping strategies are the result of appraisal. Appraisal of academic stress may be correlated with the coping strategies of poor eating and inadequate sleep; and coping strategies may be directly correlated with subjective well-being. The Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (TTSC) published by Lazarus and Folkman in 1984 was used to link student coping styles, such as inadequate diet and insufficient sleep, to perceived stress. The researchers hypothesized that the negative relationship between stress and life satisfaction would be stronger for individuals who utilized inadequate diet and insufficient sleep as a maladaptive coping strategy. The results indicated that diet did not have a significant relationship between life satisfaction and perceived stress but is more strongly related to perceived stress than it is to life satisfaction. Emotion-focused coping from TTSC may be consistent with these findings, as well as Hans Selye's Stress Response theory, suggesting that inadequate diet may more likely play a role in the physiological experience of stress than the psychological experiences of stress, which is how TTSC interprets stress. Insufficient sleep was found to be a significant predictor of life satisfaction, which indicates that when students are sleeping well, they feel better about their lives. Additionally, students that achieved more sufficient sleep identified themselves with lower levels of stress. This study addressed the gap in research by connecting the constructs of perceived stress, coping strategies (diet and sleep), and well-being (life satisfaction) into one study rather than looking at the impact of these constructs on well-being separately. The results and findings of this study may provide assistance to college administrators on the design and delivery of health-related programs and services"--Page 9.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress can affect anyone regardless of age, sex, creed, or race. It can rear its head anywhere and anytime, and it has likely been a fact of life since prehistoric days. While stress is obviously a concern of all, it has particular resonance among college students, from freshmen experiencing their first separation from home to seniors having to find that first job. In addition, students have to face other worries like time constraints, grades, and financial woes. Stress also can afflict an entire group, as witnessed by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. With stress such an indisputable part of life, it is of critical importance for individuals to learn to cope with it. This book is geared towards college courses in stress management, which have been found to reduce the symptoms of stress and raise self-esteem among students. College students will find it especially helpful to learn how to cope with stress at a young age, so as to be ready to face life in "the real world." Throughout the book are helpful and varied techniques for dealing with stress, along with "principles of living" that most people can use in daily life. Examples of these principles include continuous self-evaluation, talking things over, recognising one's accomplishments, and taking things less seriously. Given the need to face and adapt to stressful situations throughout life, the education offered by this book is informative, insightful, and practical for everyday use.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning college is a stressful time in any young person’s life. Most of these individuals are transitioning out of high school, into emerging adulthood, and learning to navigate university life. First-year college students are the most vulnerable population to various mental health problems, especially depression (Wei, Russel & Zakalik, 2005). Student enrollment into college has increased by 27 percent since 2000 and the diversity among college campuses has increased significantly (National Center for Education Statistics, 2019). With such an influx of change in the population in American universities, there is a growing need to better understand and support the emotional needs of students of all ethnicities. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between positive, negative, and social coping strategies and the levels of depression among a diverse sample of first-year college students. The relationship between coping strategies and ethnicity was measured as well as the relationship between coping strategies, ethnicities, and gender. The participants in this study are first-year college students who attended Fairleigh Dickinson University, Metropolitan Campus located in Teaneck New Jersey. The total sample includes 675 participants, 27.1 percent of which are Latinx, 25.8 percent White, 18.7 percent African American, 6.1 percent other, 5.9 percent Asian American, and 3.0 percent mixed race. The modal age of the participants is 18, accounting for 64.4 percent of the sample, followed by 19, which is 23.3 percent of the sample.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are turbulent times in which it becomes increasingly important to survive and thrive despite stressful circumstances. Hardiness is the pattern of attitudes and skills that provides the courage and strategies that helps people be resilient by turning potential disasters into growth opportunities and fulfillment, thereby enhancing their performance, sense of fulfillment, and health. Hardiness as the pathway to resilience under stress has become of considerable interest, it is beginning to have an influence on the emerging emphasis of positive psychology by expanding this approach beyond mere happiness, to the courage and strategies needed to make the most of difficult times. The book starts with the special value of hardiness in being resilient by not only surviving, but also thriving under stress, and thereby achieving fulfillment in living. The book then elaborates on the pattern of attitudes and skills of hardiness that form the pathway to this needed resiliency. It discusses the 30 years of validational research and practice that is available concerning hardiness. The book offers various applications of hardiness assessment and training that can contribute to a better life. These include, among others, how hardiness can be trained in school and emphasized in psychotherapy, how hardiness facilitates the intimacy and longevity of relationships, and what organizations need in order to perform successfully in these turbulent times. The book is of interest to academics, industrial and organizational psychologists, clinical psychologists, mental health professionals, and professionals in public health, social work, sociology and human resources.

Download or read book Stress and College University Students written by Andree' Sampson and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of stress among college and university students has been the subject of research for many years. High levels of stress in students can lead to poor academic performance, depression, attrition, and serious health problems. Therefore, research on how students deal with their stress levels can have important implications for higher education. Many students that undergo a considerable amount of stress while attending graduate school are education graduate students. The stress that students' encounter are due to the demands associated with home, school, and/or work. This book, therefore, provides an insight on what stress-related factors that education graduate students experienced while in graduate school and the coping resources and strategies that they use to handle their stress. The analysis revealed that education graduate students experienced stress while attending graduate school, and they along with other graduate and undergraduate students from other programs, can utilize these coping resources and strategies from this book to alleviate their stress.
