QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Stress ✅a state in which the body must adapt to meet environmental needs

What is a stressor?

Stressors can be: (4) ✅A stressor includes any event or situation that triggers coping
adjustments

Stressors can be:
- Internal (e.g., anticipation)
- External (e.g., extreme weather)
- Negative (e.g., watching your favorite team lose)
- Positive

Measuring stress (2) ✅Stress can be measured in two broad ways:
1.) Self-report measures like questionnaires or interviews asking about general stress,
hassles, significant life events

2.) Physiological measures like blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, and stress
hormones

Stress being measured: Self-report (Pros and Cons) ✅Pros: Easy, inexpensive
Cons: Subjective, recall bias, social desirability bias

Stress being measured: Physiological (pros and cons) ✅Pros: Objective, direct,
reliable
Cons: Expensive, testing can be stressful

Acute stress INCREASES: (3) ✅- Natural killer cell number
- Natural killer cell activity
- Inflammatory markers

*Acute stress increases non-specific immunity but decreases specific immunity

Acute stress DECREASES: (1) ✅Proliferative response (lymphocyte function)

*Acute stress increases non-specific immunity but decreases specific immunity

, How does stress inhibit the immune system? ✅At first, your immune system is
increased in response to a stressor

However, sustained activation of the stressor suppresses immunity
- Happens during major stressors of longer durations
- If the immune system remains in an enhanced state, this can lead to a propensity
toward autoimmune diseases

Chronic stressors: Caregiving ✅Caregivers have decrements in immune functioning

Fewer natural killer cells, less natural killer cell activity

Lower levels of lymphocyte proliferation

Stress and colds ✅- Experiencing stressors is related to self-reports of colds, but these
studies have some methodological problems
- We can assess objective markers of illness, but cannot rule out alternative
explanations

Sheldon Cohen's Cold Hotel ✅- Brought participants into a hotel and quarantined them
for several weeks
- Sprayed cold viruses up their noses

- Who gets sick? (people with high stress)

What types of stressors are most detrimental? ✅Stressors of long duration

Interpersonal stressors
- Three times as likely to develop a cold

Chronic work stressors --> unemployment and underemployment
- Five times as likely to develop a cold

Many issues of inequality (4) ✅*Socioeconomic status
*Race/ethnicity
- Gender
- Sexual orientation

How can we conceptualize SES? ✅- Income
- Education
- Occupation
- Subjective ladder
