Chapter 3 Assignment and Relaxation Reflection 2

Do the following assignment about my work, or my family or children, especially more at work. I have a really harassing manager and people at my work and do it about this stage in my life: (I am 39 yrs old).

and if you have any trouble ask me.

I will upload the chapter 3 assignment powerpoint and use the book as well: (Chen, David (2017). Stress management and Prevention 3rd ed). New York: Routledge.)

Chapter 3 Assignment

1. Using the concept of developmental tasks, describe a task (situation) in your past that you appraised as stressful, a threat to your well-being that is no longer stressful. An example – When I first started driving, I found it to be very stressful I was very nervous especially trying to merge onto the highway and making a left hand turn across a busy road. Do not use this example for your assignment.

2. Describe why your task (situation) was stressful.

3. What has changed in your development and what other factors have helped you cope with the task successfully?

4. Relate what you have written to the primary and secondary appraisal process of the Transactional Model of Stress. Cite your source of information on the transactional model.
