What to Focus On
- Stress is a transactional process between individual and environment, not just a stimulus or response.
- Eustress is positive/beneficial stress; distress is harmful stress that causes wear and tear.
- Lazarus' Cognitive Appraisal Theory: Primary appraisal (is it threatening?) + Secondary appraisal (can I cope?) determine stress experience.
- Stress has four major types of effects: Emotional, Physiological, Cognitive, and Behavioural.
- Examination anxiety is a form of evaluative stress; high test anxiety impairs performance through negative self-focused thoughts.
- Burnout is the state of total physical, emotional, and psychological exhaustion due to chronic stress.
- Coping is a dynamic, situation-specific process — not a fixed personality trait.
- It is how we cope with stress (not how much stress we experience) that determines well-being.
- Endler and Parker's three coping strategies: Task-oriented, Emotion-oriented, and Avoidance-oriented.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
