quick question about #12 - are the three things the stressor, stress response, and neurohormonal activity? its the only thing that seems to fit the question, thanks!
Question 12 refers to the susceptibility to stress. If you look in the study guide, i think page 13 (or close to it) the three things are listed under "susceptibility". In case you cant find them I listed them below. In reference to the test, be sure that you can give some examples of these and discuss how they change due to differences in race, class, gender, SES, cross-culturally, etc.
Susceptibility
Physiological Reactivity: Some biological differences, but also social; I.e the way we learn to deal with stressors permanently affects physiological response.
Cognitive-Emotional Appraisal: Our interpretations and emotional reaction to a stressful event. Cultural factors and individuals’ place in social structure affects perception. (I.e. learned helplessness).
Coping: How we manage the tension a stress produces.
Briana, I think question 5 is focusing on how lack of transport severely curtails access to medical care, shopping, friends, etc., increasing isolation and social stress. Question 8 is focusing on how the major portion of public funds goes towards highways rather than mass transit which causes a shift away from the use of trolley and public transportation towards the use of automobiles. Also, economic and political decisions affect the location of offices, shopping malls, industrial parks, and restaurants.
Hey Tyler, I;m not sure if you will check this before class, but exactly what practice question 2 is asking. I should have asked last night, but hadn't gotten to them yet.
i think that number two is looking for other factors the the epidemiology of morbidity and mortality have discovered. for instance the epidemiological shift away from infection towards chronic illnesses. Or the face that race, gender and SES affect life expectancy. hope that helped

Hey Tyler,
ReplyDeletequick question for you when looking at the study questions what are the differences between question 5 and 8?
