Abstract In this study, we examined the influence of Big Five personality dimensions (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience) on appraisal (intensity, control) a self‐selected stressor, coping, perceived coping effectiveness. Participants were 482 athletes (305 males, 177 females) who played variety sports. Results indicate that influenced selection, effectiveness, stress intensity, control stressors, but not type stressor. particular,...

Burnout as predictor of aggressivity among police officers This paper aims to understand the relationship between and burnout officers, more precisely, it investigates whether is a officers. The study focuses on aggressivity, using regression analysis identify predictors. Maslach Inventory was used measure burnout, while Aggression Questionnaire aggressivity.

The experience of daily stress among bus drivers has shown to affect physical and psychological health, can impact driving behavior overall road safety. Although previous research consistently supports these findings, little attention been dedicated the design a detection method able synchronize physiological responses public in their day-to-day routine work. To overcome this limitation, we propose mobile sensing approach detect georeferenced facilitate memory recall stressful situations....

Nurses' practice involves working in complex organizational settings and facing multiple stressors over time that can lead to burnout. This study aimed identify predictors of burnout among nurses hospitals.A sample 1,157 participants from four hospitals the city Porto (Portugal) was investigated (78% women, mean age = 34.7 years) using socio-demographic work variable questionnaires, Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS), Personal Views Survey (PVS), Job Satisfaction Scale (S20/23), Work-Home...

Results indicated acting with awareness nonjudging negative predictors whereas observe facet...

Stress is a complex process with an impact on health and performance. The use of wearable sensor-based monitoring systems offers interesting opportunities for advanced care solutions stress analysis. Considering the stressful nature firefighting its importance community's safety, this study was conducted firefighters.A biomonitoring platform designed, integrating different biomedical to enable acquisition real time Electrocardiogram (ECG), computation linear Heart Rate Variability (HRV)...

We examined the independent and interactive effects of Big-Five personality traits on dispositional coping effectiveness among athletes. Participants were 400 athletes (mean age 22.97, s = 7.00) from UK. The completed measures personality, coping, effectiveness. independently predicted use higher order dimensions. Extraversion, agreeableness, openness positively task-oriented coping. Neuroticism distraction-oriented whereas extraversion, conscientiousness negative predictors. Both...

Literature that focuses on women coaches indicates frequent experiences of difficult social environments in the coaching community. Individuals who are more socially integrated and satisfied with their network likely to overcome these demanding situations effectively have higher levels well-being. Therefore, this study explored perceived received support functions among UEFA B licensed football coaches. An exploratory, multiple case approach was used collect data from three white British...

Abstract Gender differences in coping sport have received increased attention, but cross-sectional and retrospective designs of studies provided equivocal results limited conclusions the area. To address this gap, two were conducted investigating stress, appraisal males females when executing a golf-putting task. The under controlled laboratory settings, including control an experimental condition. Participants performed same task both conditions. In condition, stress was induced using...

Research attention has been directed towards coaches' stressor experiences, yet less is known about the role of stress appraisals and psychological well-being (PWB). Considering links between PWB, mental health, retention in coaching profession, this study will explore primary PWB among sports coaches. Guided by our constructivist paradigm that underpinned relativist ontology subjectivist epistemology, we conducted theoretically informed semi-structured interviews with six coaches (five men...

Emotional stress is commonly experienced while speaking in public, producing changes to the various speech productions subsystems, affecting signal predictable ways and being easily conveyed listeners. Speech indicators, however, are typically studied under laboratory settings, allowing little generalization real life settings. To bridge this gap, we propose an interdisciplinary approach assess during public events, based on a platform that records simultaneously annotated with physiological...

Abstract. Stress can negatively impact one’s health and well-being, however, despite the recent evolution in stress assessment research methodologies, there is still little agreement about conceptualization assessment.
