Sleep and Anger
Stress and Anger have always been related with each other. There have
been countless studies, even more theories, about stress and anger
and how they relate. But, no matter how many studies are conducted,
there will always be the questions about whether or not stress and anger
are related. But, I am here to provide the facts on both stress and
anger, and then allow you, as the reader, to determine the relationship,
because all-in-all, I feel that stress and anger can and cant be related,
depending on the circumstance.
If psychologists completely understood how stress and fears developed,
we would know how to produce and reduce a phobia or an anxiety state. We
don't. There seems to be a wide variety of life experiences which result
in some form of stress, fear, anxiety, or psychosomatic illness. It would
be convenient if life were simpler but it isn't.
Perhaps a summary will
help you review the ways you might become stressed and anxious Changes,
such as sudden trauma, several big crises, or many small daily hassles,
cause stress. Intense stress years earlier, especially in childhood,
can predispose us to over-react to current stress. Events, such as
barriers and conflicts that prevent the changes and goals we want, create
stress. Having little control over our lives, e.g. being on the assembly
line instead of the boss, contrary to popular belief, often increases
stress and illness. Many environmental factors, including excessive
or impossible demands, noise, boring or lonely work, stupid rules,
unpleasant people, etc., cause stress. Conflicts in our interpersonal
relationships cause stress directly and can eventually cause anxieties
and emotional disorders.
The human body has different ways of responding to stress; one
quick responding nerve-hormonal system involving adrenaline, another
long-lasting system involving cortisol, and perhaps others. These
systems not only determine the intensity of our anxiety reactions but
also our attitudes, energy level, depression, and physical health after
the stressful events are over. As individuals, our nervous systems
differ; however, according to Richard Dienstbier at the University
of Nebraska, we may be able to modify our unique physiological
reactions by learning coping skills. The genetic, constitutional,
and intrauterine factors influence stress. Some of us may have been
born nervous and grouches. Almost certainly we are by nature prone to
be shy or outgoing, and we inherit a propensity for certain serious
psychological disorders. We don't know yet if different treatments are
required for genetically determined problems than for learned problems.
Having a bad experience causes us to later be stressed in that situation,
i.e. pairing a neutral stimulus with a painful, scary experience will
condition a fear response to the previously neutral stimulus. Fears and
other weaknesses may yield payoffs; the payoffs (like attention or
dependency) cause the fear to grow. Avoiding frightening situations
may reinforce and build fears and stress.
Seeing others afraid and being warned of real or nonexistent dangers can
make us afraid under certain conditions. (modeling) This can include
seeing a movie or TV or reading a book or perhaps just fantasizing
a danger. Some people have learned to see things negatively; they have
a mental set that causes them to see threats and personal failure when
others do not. Of course, seeing the situation as negative (terrible),
unpredictable, uncontrollable, or ambiguous is stressful. Many
long-lasting personality factors (neuroticism, pessimism, distrust, lack
of flexibility and confidence) are related to stress, decision-making,
and physiological responses. Having a negative self-concept--expecting
to be nervous and a loser--generates stress. Irrational ideas about
how things should be or must be can cause stress when we perceive
that life is not unfolding as we think it should. Believing that
we are helpless, that we can't handle the situation causes stress.
Drawing faulty conclusions from our observations, such as scary ideas,
like they dont like me" or "Im inferior to them, or having unreasonable
fantasies of awful consequences (Ill be mugged") increase our fears and
restrict our activities. Pushing yourself to excel and/or failing to
achieve a desired goal and ones ideal lead to stress. Assigning fault
for bad events, i.e. placing blame on self or on others, causes stress
and anger. Realizing we may have been wrong but wanting to be right
stresses most of us. Careful, logical decision-makers are usually calm

tx I will read it, I need the ideas on persuasive speech.
