Psychology for Life Worksheet
Directions:
Answer each of the following three questions in 100-150 words each.
- Complete “Interactive Stress Quiz for Instant Health Risk Results!” located on the Stress Management Web site at .stress-management.net/stress-test.h
What did the self-assessment tell you about your level of stress? Were you surprised by the results? Explain.
- The readings for this Module discuss the relationship between motivation, emotion, and stress. After taking the quiz do you have a new perspective on this dynamic? Describe some times that your motivation and emotion have been affected by stressors in your life.
- Describe how psychology is applicable to everyday life. Discuss topics such as relationships with others, work, school, etc. How might understanding psychology help you in your everyday life?You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
