Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress is an inevitable part of daily life that has a variety of negative physiological and psychological consequences for individuals. Social support is thought to ameliorate these effects. Specifically, perceived support has been predicted to buffer or reduce the negative impact of stress. This Buffering Hypothesis (Cobb, 1976; Cohen & Wills, 1985) has been examined a great deal since its initial proposal over thirty years ago, but few studies incorporate key mechanisms of the model, such as appraisal, and many use only cross-sectional or correlational designs which lack the ability to analyze within- and between-person effects. The current study attempted to provide a thorough examination of stress buffering through a longitudinal study of stress, perceived support, appraisal, and distress across four time-points. The study examined a major stressful event, the transition from high school to college, as it was occurring. Typically a stress-by-support interaction is the primary criterion for identifying a stress buffering effect (Cohen & Wills, 1985), but the current study also applied a mediated moderation model based on a novel interpretation of the literature. The Buffering Hypothesis was examined using both criteria as well as in models that combined and separated the within- and between-person effects. Much of the work in the current literature does not allow for the separation of these types of effects so combined analyses are meant to mimic such findings. The longitudinal design also enabled me to use a mixed model approach that separated the between- and within-person stress buffering processes. Overall, there was both stability and variability in stress, appraisal, and social support over the course of the first semester, with students relying heavily on both Home and College support networks. Stress buffering, as defined by the more standard interaction criterion, was supported under certain conditions, but was unsupported under the novel mediated moderation criterion. This suggests that appraisal may not be the mechanism by which perceived support operates to buffer one from stress. Implications for the Buffering Hypothesis and future research are discussed.

Download or read book A Program Design Focusing on Self efficacy Social Support and Physical Exercise to Reduce the Level of Stress of Psychology Graduate Students written by Roselynn J. Garcia-Almonte and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earning a professional degree can be a gratifying experience, but it also can be a phase of apprehension and stress, as students are faced with personal, work, and academic challenges that involve demands on their selves, time, relationships, and finances. Students' wellbeing is a growing concern for mental health professionals and educators. Thus, the following prevention program design called the MeFirst Program was created to educate graduate students about stress and the stress reduction effects of specific coping mechanisms, such as self-efficacy, physical exercise, and social support. The target population consists of graduate students enrolled in master's and doctoral psychology degree program. This program will also discuss factors (e.g. multiple demanding roles) that place graduate students, a relatively unexplored population, at a higher risk of developing significant stress. The program will also provide support and resources for graduate students to help reduce stress. Valid and reliable assessment tools will be used at the beginning and ending of the program to evaluate its effectiveness- Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), a modified version of Bandura's Self-Efficacy Scale and the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ). It is expected that psychology graduate students in the MeFirst program will be able to increase social support, exercise, and efficacy and reduce their stress levels. In addition, future improvements to the program will be discussed. The strengths and limitations of the proposed program and future plans for the growth of the program will be discussed.
