For this assignment, I’d like you to

1. Tell me about what happens when a human feels stress. How does a body react to stress? (e.g., headaches, muscle tension, stomach problems, etc.) What tends to happen psychologically or emotionally? (e.g., difficultly concentrating, rumination, etc.) Be sure to describe the Simple Model of the Stress Process.

2. Think about your dream job. Remind me what it is. Whether you are working toward it or already in it, try to imagine the sources of stress you might have to deal with. Again, draw from the chapter. Do you think this job will have periods of overwork or underwork? Will there be role ambiguity? Role conflict? Identify 3 sources of stress you might have to cope with (be sure they are described in the chapter and are not just the 3 I mentioned here). Be specific in describing scenarios in which these types of stress might occur. Please bold or underline the concept names.

3. Now try to think of how you might cope with these sources of stress. Again, draw from the chapter. Maybe you are hardy, or you have an internal locus of control or some other personality characteristic (mentioned in the book) that will help you. Maybe you engage in healthy recovery activities. Maybe you thrive under challenge-related stress. Be thorough and specific. This part of your assignment should be at least 1 full page in length. Please bold the concept names you refer to.

Requirements: 3 pages
