Ybaw Act 2 Analysis

In comparing the video, Managing Stress, versus the text documents, Fellin’ Frazzled and Got Butterflies, both talked about the subject managing stress, I however found that comparing the two more difficult. They both mentioned how stress can cause sweaty palms and the video gave an example of being in the middle of a driving test for the first time. The boy in the driver’s seat remained calm and passed. Again both mention talking with family and friends when upset or just needing someone to talk to helps work through your problem.

I really enjoyed watching Kelly Mcgonigal video. I can honest agree with the study of stress By understanding feeling stress can be good for you. My reasons is because stress is a feeling of what you think could be wrong in your life or different obstracles. You can control your thoughts and feelings and think of stress as a challenge. Think of a challeng that you will only conquer. What you think of stress in your life view. Understanding that feeing stress could be helpful, knowing thats its only a battle that you will defeat. In the video students from Harvard University was tested by doing a stress social test.They was taught to be prepared and rethink they

Headaches. Low energy. Upset stomach. Sleepless nights. These are just some of the countless side effects of stress. However, Dr. Kelly McGonigal believes otherwise. In her TED Talk “How to make stress your friend,” she describes how stress can be used in a reverse way contradictory to popular beliefs. Dr. McGonigal is convinced that stress has received a completely negative attitude, which she deems as wrong. She believes that stress can be manipulated to create positive effects. Dr. Kelly McGonigal’s, “How to make stress your friend,” TED Talk is a rhetorical success because it effectively convinces those who are looking for help with dealing with stress and forward thinking scholars who attend the TED Talks. She achieves this success by

According to Gerald Corey and Marianne Corey (2014) in I Never Knew I had a Choice: Explorations in Personal Growth, the idea presented in the book is recognizing and responding constructively to the sources of stress rather than trying to eliminate them, because stress is an inevitable part of life that cannot be eliminated but can be managed (Corey & Corey, 2014).

Attempts to define “emotion” have proved to be rather difficult. Instead of searching for a comprehensive definition, Gross (2011) describes the three core features of emotions. First, emotions occur when an individual decides that a situation is relevant to his or her goals. Second, emotions are multi-faceted, and involve both subjective and physiological experiences, as well as behaviors. The third feature involves the authoritative nature of emotions. They have the powerful ability to interrupt ongoing processes, assert their priority over other activities, and force their way into awareness. For example, some traditions describe emotions as “disorganized interruptions of mental activity” (Salovey & Mayer, 1989). Emotions are such an

reduce the discomfort and restore balance” (McLeod, 2014, Introduction). As a reaction to emotional discomfort, our human nature seeks to restore equilibrium producing a consonant relationship that dissolves the negative emotional state of cognitive dissonance.

If a large majority of individuals view stress as their enemy, this can severely take a toll on their health throughout their lifetime, and even cause their life to be shortened prematurely. As the lecture illustrates, 43 percent of people who believe stress as harmful had an increased risk of dying. An obstacle or barrier that might hinder this improvement would be human nature, because it’s easy for human to get stressed and be clouded with thoughts to be able to solve the issue of handling stress. On the other hand, to solve the obstacles the society needs to be educated on how to make stress their friend. Also, introducing mechanism within their life to reduce stress, and urge others to see stress as a positive thing rather than a negative. Thus causing society to live a healthier physical and mental lifestyle in the

During my time at the soup kitchen, I had to utilize emotion management when dealing with people and situations in which it would have been inappropriate for me to react in the way that I would otherwise have wanted to. Emotion management is the act of obeying “feeling rules” and responding appropriately to situations (Brym and Lie 2012:77). For example, when a homeless man came into the soup kitchen and started to dance and shout instead of calmly sitting down and eating his meal, I courteously asked him to sit down and to try not to disturb the other guests of the establishment. Regardless of any initial emotions of fear, annoyance, or confusion, I had to respond appropriately to the situation by controlling my emotions and engaging in acceptable behavior. I especially had to utilize emotion labor, which is distinguished

The main idea of the first video is that people have homeostasis in our body. Anything in outside may break homeostasis is stress. People should use the critical points to treat stress, and stress can turn on as another thing such as memory, thoughts, and emotions. I think that this video gives tell people what is the psychology stress from other points. He did not explain stress from one single system, such as the nervous system or the immune system. He explained stress from homeostasis. Also, he talked about how to treat stress correctly. Sometimes, stress only comes from ourselves, and we can turn on it to another thing to encourage us.

Emotion regulation is the occurrence of when an emotion is happening to an individual and how one expresses it. The process mode, (Gross, 2014)l introduces five main ideas that regulate one’s emotions. Gross explains that there are five concepts in the model, which represents five families of an emotion regulation process, (Gross, 2014). The five main concepts are situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change and response modulation. (Gross, 2014) The model displays a movement from left to right, which gives the idea of movement through time, (Gross, 2014), According to Gross (2014) “situation is selected, modified, attended to, appraised, and yields a particular set of emotional regulation,” (Gross,

Through looking at previous research, Jones and Wirtz derived that emotion is based on the appraisal of an event, rather than the event itself. This means that the emotions connected to an event are based on the personal relevance of an event (primary appraisal) and the options for coping (secondary appraisal). Because action tendencies emotions to outward expressions, it is these appraisals that need to be addressed in order to bring about emotional change. Cognitive reappraisal is the process of going about changing these initial appraisals.

“Stress is a silent disease” (Doctor Hobel). Over the years, stress has played a major rule in a large majority of people’s lives throughout the United States. When thought about, it is said to be extremely surprising as to how many people really have stress in each individual’s life. People do not consider what the reasons are for the feelings and emotions they experience. There are all different types of stress, and stress can do a lot to a person. Each person also handles stress in a different way. Some can handle more than others, because every single person’s body works in a different way. Stress has also been told to cause people to act out of character (Dr. David Posen). They often do not act the way they usually would while under

Throughout the conversation the client stated her main concern was that she was acting “irrational” at home and therefore is concerned about going back home, although she did not verbalize it, this was expressed through her non-verbal communication. This area is the most concerning for me as well because she appears to have a negative social group that she has tried to distance herself from but could still be a threat to her mental health, I am not sure that she is ready to give up the negative influences in her life because she hinted at being lonely and having terminated friendships. Usually the patient’s verbal and non –verbal communication were consistent with one another except when she stated that she felt good about being able to go home in a day, however non-verbally she softened her gaze and tone which indicated some uncertainty.

In 1996, Duma adopted a Criminal Code, which specified the crime elements. Some of them are, “Encroachment on the Life of a Statesman or a Public Figure” in Article 277, “Terrorism” in Article 205, “Hostage-Taking” in Article 206 and “Hijacking of an Aircraft, a Seagoing Ship, or a Railway Train” in Article 211. (The Criminal Code Of The Russian Federation, 2000). Additionally 1998 the Federal Law On the Fight against Terrorism and 2006 On Counteraction to Terrorism are the main, legal basis for counterterrorism policies and operations. Russia’s experience with jihadist terrorism more than 20 years shaped its legislations and other ways of combating with terrorism.

Emotion regulation is a relatively new field in psychology, having only emerged in the past 25 years. Ever since the early 1990’s, more and more psychologists have become interested in the topic, leading to many studies and articles each year regarding the subject (Gross, 2014). Emotion regulation is the process of being aware and in control of one’s own emotions. It also refers to how or if emotions are expressed or controlled. Suppression is a form of emotion regulation, and is the act of consciously reducing emotional expression, or intentionally not showing emotion. These processes are incredibly useful to convert harmful emotions that could cause detrimental outcomes into harmless, or even useful thoughts or actions. An example of this would be using the anticipation for summer break to motivate you to push through to the end of the semester rather than drowning in stress and doing poorly. There are endless applications for this skill, but first it needs to be understood. According to Gross (2014), there are three main attributes to emotion regulation. The first attribute is finding an objective to use to change the emotion. This can be anything, as long as it is able to change or redirect the desired emotion. These objectives can be intra-personal, or inter-personal, or even both at the same time. The second attribute of emotion regulation is acting upon the system that will actually change the emotions. These actions can be both conscious, such as trying to remain
