Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Ellis's concept of “irrational belief” (Maladaptive thinking) suggests that people's generalized "shoulds" and "musts" create their emotional and behavioral dysfunctions.

A famous example is given of the scenario when someone sets a goal of his/her happiness that they are loved by each and everyone around them, this is irrational belief which is actually impossible and moreover this hands over the option of happiness to other people than the person himself.

According to research by Taylor and her colleagues (1984), __________ is likely to reduce stress related to a negative life even

Elenna [48]

According to research by Taylor and her colleagues (1984), perceived control is likely to reduce stress related to a negative life event such as cancer.

Explanation:

Shelley Taylor and her colleagues contributed to the effects of perceived control in the treatment of cancer.

Perceived control is the feeling or a belief by a person which determines his/her own inner state or behavior and influence and modify his/her or one’s own environment in order to bring about the desired outcome.

In the treatment of cancer, perceived control of behavior acts as a control strategy to deal with the immense amount of stress it causes to a person. This provides emotional well being and stability by enhancing the ability and preparing a person to cope up with the stress.

This in turn makes him/her to be mentally strong to bear the stress, feel less pain, and to be supportive with the treatment. This also reduces the impact of stress on physiological parameters like blood pressure, heart rate etc and improves the overall health of the patient.

Perceived control can also be used to cope with stress induced by negative life events like loss of someone dear, joblessness, marital or relational issues, chronic diseases etc
