Personality Psychology on Psychological Stress - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 411 Psychological stress/personality psychology/Matthews: Personality research may usefully learn from stress research. Reviews of stressor effects (e.g., Hockey 1984(1); Matthews, Davies, Westerman and Stammers 2000(2)) have concluded that stressors such as noise and heat typically influence multiple processes. Hockey (1984)(1) advocates exploring the cognitive patterning of each individual stressor, i.e., evaluating in detail which processing functions are facilitated, impaired or unaffected by the stressful agent. >G.
