Document Summary
Date of birth and date of retirement and date of retirement terminated (death) Younger you were at retirement, the longer you would live overall. Sing lin"s argument = people who retire at 65, continue working as if they are 30s: not a universal finding. Proactive coping = prepare for stressors in the future to avoid it. Adaptive coping = good techniques to relieve stress. Maladapative coping = help us in the short-term but harms us in long run (ex: drinks to relieve stress from kids) Avoidance-oriented coping = pretend stress isn"t there (problem remains) Defensive coping = freud"s defensive mechanism unrealistic thinking (make you feel more optimistic) Task-oriented coping = doing what is important first. Emotional-oriented coping = keep emotion in control, keep calm. Come up with good ideas to deal with the problem. To deal with stress, first thing to do is to size up (is it a threat, challenge?) Figure out what it is you are confronting.
