How do you cope with stressful situations?
a. Self-assessment:
People cope with difficult, stressful, or upsetting situations in a variety of
ways. The self-assessment that I have completed was designed to provide an
estimate of my preferred styles of coping.
I scored 12 points on this assessment, which states that I have a tendency
to deal with stress by actively attempting to remove the stressor by changing the
situation. This coping strategy is associated with higher resilience and usually
improves my ability to manage stress.
The average score in similar measures of coping is between 8 and 9.
The textbook definition of stress is an adaptive response to a situation that
is perceived as a challenging or threatening to the person’s well-being.
People exposed to the same stressor experience different levels of stress.
(McShane, Glinow, McGraw Hill p.140-146)
b. Discussion:
i. Give a brief discussion of how the article relates to the self-
assessment and how you can use the self-assessment results to contribute
to an organization. This gives you the opportunity to add value to the
discussion by sharing your experiences, thoughts, and opinions. Draw
your peers into discussion of topics by asking questions. This is the most
important part of the thread
There is a need to develop effective interventions to treat
workrelated stress that target both physiological and psychosocial
dimensions of coping and stress.
Theoretical research suggests that the ability of music therapy to
reduce stress and mood disturbances may be connected to the process of
resonating physically with the rhythm of the music (lowering of pulse and
breathing) (Schneck 8c Berger, 2006), the stimulation of imagery and
resolving of inner conflicts (Bruscia & Grocke, 2002), the access to
emotional processing (Juslin 8c Västfjäll, 2008), increased empowerment
and coping (Goldberg, 2002), and the creating and fostering of attachment
relationships (Pasiali, 2014). https://search-proquest-

ii. Biblical Integration: Use at least one appropriate scripture verse or
narrative from the Bible to support your discussion and use it in proper
context. How can you apply Scripture to the assessment results?
James 1: 2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face
trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of3
your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its 4
work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking
anything.

(James 1:2-4, KJV)
I like to listen to music and reflect on my thoughts as it does seem to relieve stress
in a more positive manner. I am able to focus better and problem solving becomes an
easier experience after a good "jam out" session.
Praying is always a great way to reduce stress, just let go and let God. That is
definitely an every day practice for me personally.
