Stress und Armut: Eine interdisziplinäre Untersuchung von Stress in Zellen, Individuen und Gesellschaft
by Clemens Sedmak Michael Breitenbach Elisabeth KapfererDas Wort Stress ist allgegenwärtig und ist ein Modewort geworden. Jeder ist gestresst, so scheint es, und das fortwährend. Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der Bedeutung von Stress in den Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften und untersucht zellulären Stress als Ursache für Stress und im Zusammenhang mit dem, was Menschen als Stress erleben. Wann empfinden wir in psychologischem Sinn Stress und wann zeigen wir physiologische Anzeichen von Stress in unserem Gehirn?Stress ist eine Abweichung von dem, was sich „normal“ und gesund anfühlt. Er kann durch soziale oder ökonomische Faktoren ausgelöst werden und kann chronisch werden, was erhebliche Auswirkungen auf den einzelnen Menschen und auf die Gesellschaft als Ganzes hat. Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf Armut als eine chronische Ursache von Stress und untersucht, wie der Mangel an druckfreier Zeit, die Entbehrungen und die Unvorhersehbarkeit des Alltags sowie ein allgemeiner Mangel an Schutz zu destruktivem toxischem Stress führen. Dieser permanente Druck beeinträchtigt die kognitiven und sozialen Funktionen, die Gehirnentwicklung in der Kindheit und kann auch zu vorzeitiger Alterung führen. Was können die Wissenschaften für unser Verständnis von und unsere Reaktion auf Stress leisten? Was kann gegen toxischen Stress getan werden, sowohl auf persönlicher Ebene als auch in Bezug auf Strukturen und politische Maßnahmen?Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die sich für Stress, seine Ursachen und Folgen sowie für den Zusammenhang von Stress und Armut interessieren.

Stress, Bewältigung und Persönlichkeit: Forschungsüberblick und Anwendungsperspektiven
by Heinz Walter KrohneDieses Buch liefert einen Brückenschlag zwischen den Erfahrungen von Menschen mit Stress und Stressbewältigung, der neuesten Forschung in diesem Bereich und den Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Praxis. Sein wesentliches Thema ist die Bedeutung von Unterschieden zwischen Menschen im Erleben und Bewältigen von Belastungen. Daraus folgt die Notwendigkeit, die präventive und therapeutische Praxis im Hinblick auf das Erreichen einer wirksamen Stressbewältigung an diese Unterschiede anzupassen. Betrachtet man diese (relativ stabilen) Unterschiede zwischen Menschen, so ergibt sich für die Praxis eine wesentliche Konsequenz: Eine generell (also für alle Betroffenen) empfohlene und praktizierte Form der Bewältigung (z.B. Ablenkung, Entspannung, Achtsamkeit auf Prozesse im eigenen Körper) kann zwar bei bestimmten Personen hilfreich sein, bei anderen Menschen aber eher negativ wirken. So lassen sich Personen prinzipiell in zwei Gruppen einordnen: Vermeidende Personen haben die Tendenz, belastenden Ereignissen bzw. Erlebnissen aus dem Weg zu gehen, etwa indem sie die Schwere der Belastung herunterspielen oder sich gar nicht erst mit ihr befassen. Überwachern geht es hingegen darum, möglichst viel Information über eine Belastung (z.B. eine bevorstehende Operation) zu erhalten, um sich so sicherer zu fühlen und die Situation besser kontrollieren zu können. Methoden zur Messung dieser Merkmale werden beschrieben sowie Forschungen vorgestellt, die die jeweils optimale Bewältigung bei vermeidenden bzw. überwachenden Personen beschreiben. Auf der Grundlage dieser Thematik werden Möglichkeiten zur praktischen Anwendung vorgestellt, die auf Erkenntnissen aus diesen Forschungen beruhen. Dabei konzentriert sich das Buch auf drei Felder: • Gesundheit mit den beiden Themen Bewältigung und körperliche Gesundheit sowie psychologische Behandlung von Patienten bei medizinischen Eingriffen • Stressbewältigung und Leistungsverhalten • Prävention im Hinblick auf den Einfluss der Sozialisation (speziell der elterlichen Erziehung) auf die Entwicklung der Stressbewältigung beim Kind Die Zielgruppen • Studierende, Lehrende und Praktiker der (Gesundheits-)Psychologie, Sozial-, Gesundheits- und Erziehungswissenschaften, die Informationen zu hier bedeutsamen wissenschaftlichen Themen (u.a. Gesundheitsverhalten und -erziehung, Leistungsanforderungen, Sozialisationsprozesse) suchen. • Personen, die für die Bewältigung ihrer alltäglichen Belastungen das Angebot der vielen hierzu vorliegenden Ratgeber nicht befriedigt und nach auf neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen basierenden, Informationen suchen
Stress, Cognition and Health (Psychology Focus Ser.)
by Tony CassidyStress Cognition and Health examines the key issues in the psychology of stress and health, bringing together a wide range of material generally not found in a single text. It looks at how the external world makes demands upon individuals - potentially causes of stress - while at the same time providing them with resources to cope with stress. It covers topics such as work and employment, families, commuting, large-scale disasters and daily hassles and considers how these impact on biological processes through effects on the immune system.
Stress, Cognition and Health: Real World Examples and Practical Applications
by Tony CassidyThe new edition of this bestselling textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research on stress and health, moving beyond the former deficit model to a resource growth model. It examines all aspects of the topic, from how the external world and the impact of technology makes demands upon individuals, through biological and psychological processes, to outcomes in terms health and wellbeing. The process is set within a dynamic, multilevel systems and developmental lifespan perspective. The book includes a history of the evolution of stress research and the biological systems and immune responses that translate external pressures into health outcomes. It considers the role of personality and cognition in terms of appraisal and coping strategies set within a social ecology of power and support. The role of positive psychology in terms of resilience, psychological capital, and self-compassion brings the area up to date in considering the benefits as well as the threats of stress on health and wellbeing. An integration of issues of importance in stress research is provided with some suggested guidelines for both research and practice. Issues around prevention and intervention are discussed to reduce stress and increase resilience in families, schools, workplaces and communities, and suggestions for the future development of the field are presented. With an engaging style, the book is equally accessible to the lay person and the scientist, the practitioner and the academic. Providing a basis for further exploration of the vast area of stress and health, it is valuable reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and those working in organisations with an interest in understanding and preventing or alleviating stress.

Stress, Coping, and Disease (Stress and Coping Series)
by Jay S. Skyler Neil Schneiderman Tiffany M. Field Philip M. McCabeThe third volume based on the annual University of Miami Symposia on Stress and Coping, this book focuses on the role of biophysical factors in four of the greatest health problems confronting us today: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and the AIDS epidemic. In each of these disorders, stress is seen as a contributing factor that interacts with other variables such as genetic influences or constitutional factors. Accordingly, the behavioral treatments discussed are often designed to change lifestyles, reduce stress, or improve adherence to therapeutic regimens. This volume provides a solid theoretical base which should stimulate further research into biobehavioral mechanisms and treatments for the disorders it examines.
Stress, Coping, and Relationships in Adolescence (Research Monographs in Adolescence Series)
by Inge Seiffge-KrenkeUnique and comprehensive, this volume integrates the most updated theory and research relating to adolescent coping and its determinants. This book is the result of the author's long interest in, and study of, stress, coping, and relationships in adolescence. It begins with an overview of research conducted during the past three decades and contrasts research trends in adolescent coping in the United States and Europe over time. Grounded on a developmental model for adolescent coping, the conceptual issues and major questions are outlined. Supporting research ties together the types of stressors, the ways of coping with normative and non-normative stressors, and the function that close relationships fulfill in this context.More than 3,000 adolescents from different countries participated in seven studies that are built programmatically on one another and focus on properties that make events stressful, on coping processes and coping styles, on internal and social resources, and on stress-buffering and adaptation. A variety of assessment procedures for measuring stress and coping are presented, including semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and content analysis. This multimethod-multivariate approach is characterized by assessing the same construct via different methods, replicating the measures in different studies including cross-cultural samples, using several informants, and combining standardized instruments with very open data gathering.The results offer a rich picture of the nature of stressors requiring adolescent coping and highlight the importance of relationship stressors. Age and gender differences in stress appraisal and coping style are also presented. Mid-adolescence emerges as a turning point in the use of certain coping strategies and social resources. Strong gender differences in stress appraisal and coping style suggest that females are more at risk for developing psychopathology. The book demonstrates how adolescents make use of assistance provided by social support systems and points to the changing influence of parents and peers. It addresses controversial issues such as benefits and costs of close relationships or the beneficial or maladaptive effects of avoidant coping. Its clear style, innovative ideas, and instruments make it an excellent textbook for both introductory and advanced courses. Without question, it may serve as a guide for future research in this field.This book will be of value to researchers, practitioners, and students in various fields such as child clinical and developmental psychology and psychopathology.
Stress, Coping, and Resiliency in Children and Families (Advances in Family Research Series)
by E. Mavis Hetherington Elaine A. BlechmanConcern with stress and coping has a long history in biomedical, psychological and sociological research. The inadequacy of simplistic models linking stressful life events and adverse physical and psychological outcomes was pointed out in the early 1980s in a series of seminal papers and books. The issues and theoretical models discussed in this work shaped much of the subsequent research on this topic and are reflected in the papers in this volume. The shift has been away from identifying associations between risks and outcomes to a focus on factors and processes that contribute to diversity in response to risks. Based on the Family Research Consortium's fifth summer institute, this volume focuses on stress and adaptability in families and family members. The papers explore not only how a variety of stresses influence family functioning but also how family process moderates and mediates the contribution of individual and environmental risk and protective factors to personal adjustment. They reveal the complexity of current theoretical models, research strategies and analytic approaches to the study of risk, resiliency and vulnerability along with the central role risk, family process and adaptability play in both normal development and childhood psychopathology.
