How do people cope with exam stress?
02 January 2018
Previous studies have found that a sudden drop in mood can often occur during stressful life events. However, little is known about what processes people use preceding, during and following stressful life events which can cause the drop in mood. Therefore, this study aims to identify the processes people use around these stressful times. The processes we will be examining throughout this time period include emotion-regulation strategies, hope, avoidance, anxiety, mood, and how people cope.
