Abstract |
This study aims to examine the physiological, emotional, and psychological effects of stress on the human body. Chronic stress can cause a wide variety of symptoms and if left untreated can lead to illnesses such as heart disease and stroke. The goal I have for this study is to find how stress affects people, particularly college students, in order to gain a better understanding of how to help people better manage their stress and to lead healthier and happier lives. The study is a quantitative, quasi-experimental, correlational design and will focus on students within a university setting. I am using a variety of surveys and cognitive tests to see how stress affects participants’ lives and if there are any correlations between stress and well-being. I hypothesize that stress will show a negative correlation with emotional health and cognitive well-being, and a positive correlation to physiological symptom reporting. This research study has been approved and I am currently collecting data. |
