Submissive Behavior

There are fundamentally different methodologies to the definition and study of stress that interrelate with each other and this has been concluded in several different evaluations of the scientific collected works (Appley & Trumbull, 1967).

(February 2014) Similar to this study I used a stress scale although, I reduced mine to a scale between: 1-5. “5” being the highest level of stress. The Stress in America study used a Perceived Stress Scale that participants self-monitored their stress levels by answering where they would answer such questions as “how often have you felt irritable and angry in the last month” and they could answer,(very often, sometimes, never etc.) For my purposes I asked myself the following three questions and used the following rating system to determine my stress levels that day.(Angus, n.d.)

The higher the score the less stressful the week was, and the less the score the more stressful your week has been. This stress scale has really opened the eyes of individuals based on how just one intervention can change the stress scale score tremendously. The Perceived Stress Scale is very valuable when determining how stressed and individual is each week. Cohen (1994) stated, “ A Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is supposed to very effective, easy to understand, and alternatives are easy to grasp.” So, therefore, the PSS helps evaluate the stress levels of individuals per

    In order to have our project succeed to a high standard we must gather information on multiple items. For our criteria of stress we must identify

The outcome of the total stress score were within the acceptable level of the DSP, which was high in time pressure and low in the vocational environment. The reliability of the DSP is an acceptable measurement based on the evaluation from different sources.

In order to better understand the effects of a combination of these two circumstances, a group of scientists conducted an experiment with about 126 people. Stress was induced to the subjects using the Trier Social Stress Test and the controls underwent the placebo Trier Social Stress Test. In order to collect the data the scientists collected saliva samples to assess cortisol and alpha amylase concentrations, as indicators of both of the stress response

This section interprets the results and evaluates them, followed by a conclusion to the research and ideas for future research on the existing topic. (What is a scientific article? 2014) For this article the authors interprets the results in reference to the three general theories of stress which are the arousal theory, the composite theory and the maximal adaptive theory; concluding with the maximal adaptive theory of stress to have the ‘better’ explanation. Lastly is the reference section. While it is not included into the SIMRAD acronym, it is an important section which lists all the documents, websites and information that are referred to by the author. In this case, the author lists a large amount of articles used for the meta-analytic review and refers to them throughout the text to support and add credibility to their written work.

biases being carried over from the previous condition, stress levels affecting the results). For this study, order effects are not significant. There are some concern regarding selection effects and external validity due to the sampling being nonrandom, thus the sample is not reasonably representative of the population of interest; some young adults are not college students and not all adults are in college. However, random assignment will occur to ensure, as much as possible, that there is no systematic difference in the kinds of individuals in each of the 4 conditions in the study and increase internal validity. There is still a concern about sample size however since 25 participants per condition may be rather small and limit internal validity. This study will be providing a script for the research assistants regarding what they should be saying to the participants and ensuring proper standardization such that the rooms the participants take the exam are in similar in look, size, and spacing and contain the appropriate condition-related material (e.g. a timer). The experiment will be a blind one for the subjects but due to the nature of independent variables and the script, it will not be double-blind (e.g. the experimenter will know what condition the subject is in). These confounds are important to control for because they can directly affect internal validity. The perceived time condition is the trickiest condition to ensure manipulation

The article provides a quiz to take to recognize how stressed out you may be. This quiz can provide students with a basis for seeing how stressed they are. Some students may be shocked by how much anxiety they actually have in their life without ever noticing it before. After completing the quiz, the page provides the reader with a score out of 48 on how stressed they are along with tips on how to resolve the stressors in their lives. For example, if

stress self-reported by respondents, the values being the varying degree of stress respondents felt that they experienced. For NOCS2006_C10, the level of measurement is nominal because the named categories have no particular order or ranking.

To underpin this study, three theories are discussed. The theories are: cognitive activation theory of stress, Lazarus theory of stress and theory of psychological reactance are discussed. The theories relevance and input to the study is also highlighted.

According to the individual stress test from the Stress Management Society, the score I received was 43-70, with an overall ability to handle the stress is below average. Furthermore, the test suggests that the stress category is high. Due to a stressful event, change in life or lack of support (Stress Management Society, 2017). According to the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale my test results show a score of 285, and there is a moderate to high chance of becoming ill soon (Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale, taken 2017). Furthermore,

The person who has the lower stress had an easier time making decision that he or she could stand by. When person

Stress is caused from both outside & inside the organization & from groups that employees

The study reported 159 normal cases for stress scale, 35 were in mild, 31 in moderate, 20 in severe and one case in extremely severe score.
