Document Summary
Stress: an easy way to make everthing worse. They make you feel things, which makes your body do things! Self-efficacy vs self-esteem she briefly touched on this, but i had another class cover it more in depth. Self-esteem is the degree to which you love yourself, believe that you are worthy of love, and believe that others love you. Self-efficacy is the degree to which you believe that you are capable of accomplishing tasks and overcoming challenges. Most people say self-esteem when they really mean self-efficacy. Low self-efficacy is linked with high stress, due to feeling of helplessness against problems. Stress suppresses the immune system, which is actually an excellent evolutionary adaptation. If you"re getting chased by a tiger, you want 100% of the cells in your body focussing on helping you run fast, not get tired, etc. , not busy fighting off germs.
