Book Control  Esteem and Coping in Stressful Encounters

Download or read book Control Esteem and Coping in Stressful Encounters written by Suhaila Nasser Ouri and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between locus of control, self-esteem, and coping strategies in stressful encounters. Locus of control was defined as internal and external; self esteem as low and high; coping strategies as cognitive and non-cognitive. Stressful encounters were clustered into nine categories, namely examinations, physical harm, negative life events (financial and troubled relationships), threat, challenge, commitments, achievement, ambiguity and family relations (protection and conflict). The sample included one hundred and twenty-eight students of both sexes (i.e. 64 males and 64 females) randomly selected from the American University of Beirut. Four questionnaires were constructed and piloted for the purpose of the study. A questionnaire to measure the level of stress; a questionnaire to measure the type of coping; a questionnaire to measure the type of control; a questionnaire to measure the level of self-esteem. Data were analyzed by a series of correlation coefficients. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients revealed significant correlations between the variables under investigation. The results were discussed in terms of the relationship between the effectiveness of cognitive coping strategies as opposed to non-cognitive ones and an individual's level of self-esteem and type of control in stressful episodes.

Book External and Internal Locus Control  Community and Individuality

Download or read book External and Internal Locus Control Community and Individuality written by Tijuana Canders and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, Walden University (Department of Psychology), language: English, abstract: This paper will provide an integrated review of literature. Common themes and different views about the topic 'Locus Control - Community and Individuality' will be compared based on narrative theory views of different authors. It will be analysed what they have to say about an individual's problem-solving skills, critical thinking through self-identity, altruism, and recognition of environmental influences through the act of using locus of control individually and within community. Learn-oriented situations are created for the purpose of learning strategies to guide learners in the achievement of internal locus of control and external locus of control. Social research requires the analyzation of community and qualitative or quantitative methods to develop transformative social change. When comparing different authors beliefs, there are some similarities, but they differ along a continuum of factors. These factors range from the use of technology to simplistic strategies derived from learned precepts and concepts of interaction, that are learned through environmental and role stimulation or acquired through parental and social interactions. Such known causes of effects influence or alter how individuals view relationships in community and if they are drawn to receive their potential from external influences (External Locus Control) or from their own concrete view of life from their inward persona in order to make sound and just decisions (Internal Locus Control). Locus control is vital for how a person develops further throughout life. It is just as pertinent to consider that both external locus control and internal locus control are needed at different stages in life to strengthen community and individuality.

Book Coping  Personality and the Workplace

Download or read book Coping Personality and the Workplace written by Alexander-Stamatios Antoniou and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How an individual responds to crises and critical incidents at work, both immediately and subsequent to the event, is heavily influenced both by personality characteristics and their use of coping strategies. These can, in turn, be affected by levels of education, gender and even the profession within which the individual is working. Coping, Personality and the Workplace offers theory, research and practice on our ability to cope with dangerous situations, critical incidents or other work crises. The chapters include perspectives on social and health habits and risks; gender and age differences as well as a range of different sources of threat: financial, psychological and physical; those within and outside the individual’s control; immediate and chronic. For organizations, this collection provides help and advice to build into employee safety and support programmes; for policy makers, a sense of the emerging sources of risk related to occupational health and for researchers, an anthology of original applied research from some of the leading authors in three continents.

Book Research with the Locus of Control Construct

Download or read book Research with the Locus of Control Construct written by Herbert M. Lefcourt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research with the Locus of Control Construct, Volume 1: Assessment Methods was created to serve two purposes. The first is to fill the researcher's need for information about the application of appropriate locus of control scales to their particular purposes or samples. It presents a variety of locus of control scales and describes the relevant research and applications. The second purpose for this book involves the general field of personality psychology. Often personality constructs emerge, occupy center stage for the better part of a decade, and then almost silently disappear from view. By contrast, the locus of control construct has occupied a central position in personality research for a decade. The contributions to this volume represent some of the innovations that extend the utility of the locus of control construct to different areas of concern. It illustrates a simple principle—that a construct continues to be viable only as long as it continues to inspire innovations; if it remains static the construct will eventually disappear. This book is intended to provide information regarding new developments and to encourage new questions and applications that may allow the locus of control construct to outlive the brief life span that is common among personality constructs. It is assumed that the reader is already familiar with the basic literature on locus of control research.

  • Pages : 245 pages

Download or read book Attribution Theory written by Sandra Graham and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual volume begins with a historical overview of the growth of attribution theory, setting the stage for the three broad domains of application that are addressed in the remainder of the book. These include applications to: achievement strivings in the classroom and the sports domain; issues of mental health such as analyses of stress and coping and interpretations of psychotherapy; and personal and business conflict such as buyer- seller disagreement, marital discord, dissension in the workplace, and international strife. Because the chapters in Attribution Theory are more research-based than practice- oriented, this book will be of great interest and value to an audience of applied psychologists.
