Personal Stress Paper

At the end of week 5 students will submit their first paper. Chapter 3 and 4 of the class text focuses on individual differences in the stress response and the impacts of stress on different aspects of our lives. How we perceive and interpret a stressor is known as cognitive appraisal, and determines whether we react to stressor as threatening or stressful (Quick, Wright, Adkins, Nelson, & Quick, 2013, chapter 3).

In this personal reflection paper, explain and discuss how your internal capabilities and characteristics influence your cognitive appraisal of stressors, and reflect on the positive and negative consequences of this for stress in your life.

Your paper should contain the following headings: Introduction, Personality and temperament, Attitudes and values, Behaviors and vulnerabilities, Conclusion

To supplement the information from the textbook and show your reading around the issues of stress and personal capabilities and characteristics, you must include a minimum of 3 additional sources* to substantiate your discussion. Your paper should demonstrate self-awareness and reflection, as well as your understanding and application of concepts from the textbook and readings.

Format requirements:

The paper must be 5-6 pages long (excluding title page and reference list) and follow APA style basics:
- Double-spacing (no 10 point additional spacing between paragraphs)
- 12 font Times New Roman
- 1 inch margins
- Title page (title of paper, student name, course name, instructor name)
- Page numbers top right
- Running head in capitals flush left
- Reference page
- Note: no abstract needed
- Use bolded, centered headings to create structure

APA style citations are required in the paper with a corresponding reference list at the end of the paper. Please refer to the Appendix "APA style citations and references" at the end of this syllabus, as well as https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/ for guidelines on correct APA style.

*Note regarding additional sources:

There is no limitation on who can publish something on the internet, so many websites have never been checked for accuracy/correctness. Rather choose internet sources associated with universities, institutes, or well-known organizations, written by experts (e.g. qualified professionals or researchers), or available through the university library. The following link will give you more information about sources that are appropriate for papers, assignments and scholarly writing: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/553/1/. Journals and books are always the preferred sources for academic writing - you can find instructions on how to perform basic library database searches in the Syllabus and Course Resources folder in Blackboard.
