| dc.description.abstract | Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demand exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to m obilise. Studies o f stress have shown that stress imposes a h igh co st on individual’s productivity, health and happiness. The student’s perception o f an action or behavior can,precipitate whether the stress is good or bad for them. School children today face increasing amounts o f schoolwork, a rapidly changing curriculum, assignment deadlines and exams; they worry about selecting careers and post secondary programs, and they must balance schoolwork with sports, hobbies and social life. Stress hroculation Training (SIT) has been einployed on a treatment basis to help individuals cope with the aftermath o f exposure to stressful events and on a preventative basis to “inoculate” individuals to iiiture and ongoing stressors. The primary purpose o f stress inoculation, training is to prepare the individual to perform effectively in the stress environment. The SIT approach is defined by a three-stage training intervention. In the initial conceptualization phase a collaborative relationship is established between the children and the trainer; and the children will gain knowledge and familiarity with the stress enviroranerit. The second phase o f Stress Inoculation focuses on skills acquisition and rehearsal that follows naturally from the initial conceptualization phase. This phase allows the children to maintain effective performance under stress. The final phase o f stress inoculation provides opportunities for the student to apply the variety o f coping skills across increasing levels o f stressors, the inoculation techniques such’as imagery and behavioral rehearsal, modeling, role-playing, and graded in vivo exposure in the form o f ‘personal experiments ’ are employed,, thereby building their performance confidence. | en_US |
