Stress and Coping Project

Guidelines and Rubric

You will create, manage, and apply a chosen coping or relaxation technique and keep a journal of your

overall well-being. For two weeks straight, you will engage in a reliable technique (e.g., meditation) for 10-

15 minutes every day. Before each session, you will record your overall mood and stress using the Daily

Stress and Coping Entry Form (available in Doc Sharing). You should have an entry form for each day.

Before and after beginning the project, you will evaluate your overall mood.

Write a general overview on the benefits of the stress management technique you used, the challenges

you encountered in trying to utilize the technique, and whether you plan on using the learned technique in

the future. Included in this paper should be a summary of results using a chart, graph, or other

presentation of personal data. This report should be between two and three double-spaced pages using

APA style formatting.

Assignment 2: Eating Disorders

Biological causal factors of anorexia nervosa include genetic predisposition, serotonin regulation, and physiologic weight set points. Given the prevalence of this disorder, it seems unlikely that biological causes alone could account for it.
Research eating disorders using your textbook and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Comment on the relative strengths of biological causes compared to sociological or individual causes. Consider the types of anorexia nervosa in your argument.
  • Explain any treatment strategies that would support your argument.
  • Does obesity share anything in common with anorexia nervosa? Consider obesity causal factors and whether obesity is truly a mental disorder.

Write your initial response in 3–4 paragraphs. If you refer to research information, cite sources applying APA standards.
