INTRODUCTION:
The Stress Processing Report is designed to assist you in uncovering
thinking patterns that may be limiting your personal success or causing
you distress. This survey/report is only effective if you consider it
confidential and personal, and an accurate benchmark of how you are
perceiving life at this particular moment. With that approach, you will be
able to design goals to improve your effectiveness and attempt to limit
the stressors in your life. You will decide how much of the results of this
SPR work to share with the instructor and your class mates.
Take the SPR online using the instructions found in the Week Two
Assignments page. Then, complete the following assignment that is due
in the Dropbox by the end of Week three of the session.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT:
Write a 2 to no more than 3 page double-spaced paper [be sure to use
subheadings to identify each section] in which you use the results of
your SPR. The content of your SPR paper should include, but is not
limited to, answers to the following questions:
I. Describe need areas (10 points)
Review the information in all 19 domains of your SPR. What are the
three areas of greatest need (lowest scores) and what cluster(s) do they
fall in? What key behaviors may apply to these areas?
II. Discuss whether these results are realistic (10 points)
Does your experience confirm the SPR results and indicate to you that
the problems indicated are real and important? What is most important,
and what domain needs attention at this point?
III. Interpret the findings (10 points)
Review the behavior examples for this critical domain. Describe where
these behaviors were learned, and what causes you to continue to be
influenced by them. Then consider the self-improvement suggestions for
these behaviors. What steps do you think should be taken to improve
feelings and behaviors in this area?
