Ways Of Men And Women

In the words of Winston Churchill, "The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." When we are optimistic that we can get a job done, or that we can find a cure for a disease, we are more motivated, and we work harder. A scientist who is pessimistic that they will never find a cure for a specific disease will have a mental mind block against finding a cure for a disease, making it considerably harder for them to find a cure. However, a scientist who is optimistic about finding a cure for a disease will be motivated and more focused on their dedication to discovering a cure for a disease such as cancer. When you are optimistic, you are more motivated, and when you are motivated, you are more productive, consequently making optimism a particularly important priority in everyday

Starting with Optimistic people, Optimistic people like to view the world as everything is positive. People who are optimistic see everything as a wonderful dream land and tend to ignore all problem’s keeping the bad in and acting trying to make everything look okay when actually they are hurting inside. Overly pessimistic are those who look at the world being dangerous. Everyone is out for their head and views the world as a rotten place. This makes some people dangerous and angry at the small things in life. Sad to say that I am kind of one these people. I not fully pessimistic but I have my days where I hate the world and see my life being useless. Last but not least is the Realistic viewpoint. Looking at life with a realistic viewpoint, you look around in their life finding evidence of dangerous before they get comfortable.

Furthermore, there are distinct differences between women and men in the way that they deal with trauma. Women are more likely to practice self-destructive behaviors or retreat than men who are more likely to practice externally destructive behaviors

An article written by Kendra Cherry states, “By nurturing positive emotions, even in the face of terrible events, people can reap both short-term and long-term rewards, including managing stress levels, lessening depression, and building coping skills that will serve them well in the future” (Cherry). Optimism has allowed for people to deal with conflicts in a healthy way. Neuroscientist Tali Sharot in her book The Science of Optimism: Why We’re Hard-Wired for Hope argues that optimism provides an adaptive advantage. According to her, “Expecting our future to be good reduces stress and anxiety, which is good for our health. Researchers studying heart attack patients have found that optimists were more likely than nonoptimistic patients to take vitamins, eat low-fat diets, and exercise, thereby reducing their overall coronary risk” (Popova). Dealing with conflicts positively is better for your health and it decreases bad health

10.) There a many types of stressors that one may encounter, but among most people I believe the most common is sociological stress. Sociological stress can be one of the hardest to deal with because it is stimulated from a relationship with another person. This can cause someone to feel extremely overwhelmed and tensed because they do not know how to deal with the situation at hand. I know personally I have a hard time dealing with sociological stressors, especially when it has to do with a person close to me that I care about. I believe most people feel like they are constantly under social stress, which can cause one to feel anxiety, depression or anger throughout the day. Because we live in such a fast paced environment, many can feel sociological stressors. It can

A Hardy Personality is research done to measure commitment, control, and challenge that functions as a stress resistance resource under stressful circumstances (Manning, Curtis, McMillen & Attenweiler, 2011). I feel that at this time in my life that I am a hardy person. I have learned to deal with stress and even learn from it. I now realize that stress can cause many illnesses and it is just not worth stressing over everything. Hardiness is being able to cope with stress and turn it around in a positive way (Psych Alive, 2016). I have learn many years ago that you bring on unnecessary stress all on your own. My example is that years ago I would have several bill collectors calling me constantly. I was in a rough spot. I would not answer

Choose and explain stress management techniques that can help you cope with each of your four stressors. Do not use the same techniques for each stressor. Your answer must include at least four different coping strategies and the circumstances when you have or plan to use them. For each stressor take into account: techniques or lifestyle behaviors that can prevent a stressor from occurring; techniques that can change your thinking about the stressor; ways to calm yourself or change the situation while the stressor is

Boyes and French (2010) conducted an experiment to test the hypothesis that participants who were assigned to the high-stress condition would deem the task more negatively and used more emotion-focused coping than participants in the mild-stress condition, and if high-neuroticism participants were placed in either the high-or mild-stress condition they would report the task more negatively and use less task-focused coping than low-neuroticism participants.

In his 30- plus years of research, psychologist and founder of the Hardiness Institute, Dr. Salvatore Maddi, has discovered that hardiness coping strategies, attitudes, and beliefs make the difference (Firestone, 2012). Hardiness describes a personality trait characterized by resilience and the ability to cope effectively with stress (Firestone, 2012). Having these characteristics as a person can bring your stress level to low. We find that there are 3 traits the make up the Hardiness Personality. These traits are challenge, control and commitment. Challenge means seeing problems or stressors as challenges and opportunities (Firestone, 2012). Many accept change as a part of life and understands changes come along with the territory of living.

What is stress? A lot of people think they know the the answer to that question, but stress “is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat” (Segal). In the dictionary stress is A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. To simplify both of those stress is when people don’t have full control of a situation. The reason that so many people know what stress is, is because people can get stress form just about anything. People can get stress from little things like not studying for a test or something big like losing a job or getting married. For whatever reason that people get stressed it will happen at least one point in a persons life. It’s important to learn about how the genders deal with stress because while you could be trying to help you could very well just be making the person angry or more stressed. Learning about stress could help people in everyday life to. If a girlfriend/ boyfriend is stressed and ends up getting angry it more likely to do with how they handle stress. If you don't learn about gender stress than you wouldn’t know that men like to be alone and if his friends or girlfriend are around he is more likely to get

Lazarus's cognitive–mediational theory of emotions, agrees with my opinion on stress. Lazarus's theory states that "the way people think about and appraise a stressor is a major factor in how stressful that particular stressor becomes". (Ciccarelli & White, 2015, p. 420)

There are differences in how a female and a male responds to stress. For females, it is usually a tend and befriend way of responding. For a male, it is usually a fight or flight respond.

Optimism is another trait or attribute displayed by Type Bs, Cs, and hardy personalities (see below). Optimists are more inclined to appraise situations as challenging, whereas Type A personalities will appraise the same situation as a threat. Optimists tend to focus on what they can do to change or improve a stressful situation, rather than what they are unable to do. They are content in what they do accomplish, and do not focus on their failures (Schafer, 2000; Morris & Maisto, 2005).

Optimists and pessimists look at the world and life in very different ways. It’s factual that optimism and pessimism are both views, however, that’s where the similarities ultimately end, and the differences start to show. Optimists look at the world and life with joy, heart, and determination, and pessimists, people who see the world and life negatively, just can’t seem to muster the sort of positivity that optimists have. The differences between the two views is most commonly seen when it comes to romantic relationships, school, and work.

Stress is also linked low fertility in one’s reproductive organs, and can cause problems during pregnancy or one’s menstrual cycle (www.everydayhealth.com). This happens when one is overwhelmed with the stress he or she is going through in their lives. No one person is the same, meaning stressors as well as stress levels differ for each individual. This is why it is hard for scientists to reach the core because it is a subjective sensation related with a variety of symptoms that differ for each of us. Because of this, stress is not always a synonym for distress. Situations like a steep roller coaster ride that cause fear and anxiety for some can prove highly pleasurable for others (www.stress.org). Each person also responds to stress differently. There are numerous physical as well as emotional responses to stress. Stress can cause an ocean of different emotions that are often times unpredictable. It can have wide ranging effects on people’s emotions, mood and behavior (www.stress.org). Stress has said to have been America’s number one leading health problem. It has been shown that stress levels have escalated in children, teenagers, college students and the elderly for reasons that of which have lead to: increased crime, violence, and other threats to personal safety; pernicious peer pressures that lead to substance abuse and other unhealthy life style habits; social isolation and loneliness; the erosion of family and religious
