Discussion: Middle Adulthood Psychosocial Development

Q 1. First, take the Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory: https://www.stress.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/stress-inventory-1.pdf Scoring: •150 points or less indicates a relatively low amount of life change and a low susceptibility to stress-induced health breakdown. • 150 to 300 points indicates a 50% chance of health breakdown in the next 2 years. • 300 points or more indicates an 80% chance of health breakdown in the next 2 years, according to the Holmes-Rahe statistical prediction model. 2. Noting your score, discuss the sources of stress in your life. What are some of the things you find most stressful? Why? What types of stressors are within your ability to control? How might you address them? What types of stressors are outside your ability to control? How might you cope with them? 3. Using your own recommendations as well as properly-cited outside research, what advice do you have about how people can begin to live less stressful lives? Be specific in your recommendations, giving concrete ideas that your classmates can begin to implement today.

I got a score of 94 on the Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory that indicates a relatively low amount of life change and low susceptibility to stress-induced health breakdown. The sources of stress in my life are typically major change in financial state, personal issues with family members, study, and work-related stress. These stressors that I found most stressful are dealing with financial expenses and personal issue with my family because these are something that I’m really unable to control or resist my stress.
