We introduced the role of personality in modifying the effects of stressors on health today. A number of different personality types with effects on stress related illness have been proposed, but the ones you need to be able to define and discuss research into are Type A, Type B (the opposite of Type A) and 'Hardy'.
Here is the presentation.
For next Tuesday you need to get your notes up to date on Life Changes and Daily Hassles, Workplace Stressors and Personality. Revise the details of Marmot et al's study of Workplace , Friedman and Rosenman's study of Type A / Type B personality and CHD and Kobassa's 'Hardy Personality' research.
There are several tasks set for you on Kerboodle, including a research task on Workplace Stress which is due to be completed and a presentation handed in (through Kerboodle) by Friday 3rd February.
