“…Perceived stress has also been found to relate to an assortment of psychosocial and physiological constructs, such as personality (Besser & Shackelford, 2007;Burgess, Irvine, & Wallymahmed, 2010;Candrian et al, 2008;Ebstrup, Eplov, Pisinger, & Jørgensen, 2011), affect (Besser & Shackelford, 2007;Cohen et al, 1993;Davidsdottir, 2007), self-efficacy (Ebstrup et al, 2011;Moeini et al, 2008;Trouillet, Gana, Lourel, & Fort, 2009), attachment (Cordon, Brown, & Gibson, 2009;Koopman et al, 2000;McCarthy, Moller, & Fouladi, 2001;Reiner, Anderson, Hall, & Hall, 2010), adjustment (Baker, 2004;Curtis, Groarke, Coughlan, & Gsel, 2004;Extremera, Durán, & Rey, 2007;Kulik & Heine-Cohen, 2011), depression (Candrian et al, 2008;Ghorbani, Krauss, Watson, & LeBreton, 2008;Holt-Lunstad, Birmingham, & Light, 2011), happiness (Brief, Burke, George, Robinson, & Webster, 1988;Chatters, 1988;Feist, Bodner, Jacobs, Miles, & Tan, 1995;Schiffrin & Nelson, 2010), health related behavior (Naquin & Gilbert, 1996;Rod, Grønbaek, Schnohr, Prescott, & Kristensen, 2009;Wichianson, Bughi, Unger, Spruijt-Metz, & Nguyen-Rodriguez, 2009), and health problems (Cohen et al, 1993;Lovell, Moss, Wetherell, 2011;Nielsen et al, 2008).…”

The Playful Advantage: How Playfulness Enhances Coping with Stress

2013

This study investigated the interrelationship between playfulness in adults, perceived stress, and styles of coping. Research on playfulness has long centered on its connection to development in children, while the study of playfulness in adulthood has just recently commenced. Similarly, the psychology literature is rife with the study of stress and coping processes, whereas its study through the lens of playfulness is virtually nonexistent. This is unfortunate, as all three constructs are cognitive-emotional in nature, suggesting a natural relationship between them. This thesis study investigated whether playfulness serves an adaptive function in the experience of stress and corresponding coping strategies among college-aged students. Findings revealed that playful individuals reported lower levels of perceived stress than their less playful counterparts. Furthermore, playful individuals more frequently utilized adaptive, stressor-focused coping strategies and were less likely to employ negative, avoidant, and escape-oriented strategies. The findings suggested that as in childhood, playfulness serves a strong adaptive function in young adulthood, providing individuals with more cognitive resources from which they can manifest effective coping mechanisms in the face of stressful situations. Playfulness, then, should not remain on the peripheries of societal and academic thought, but rather should be developed, nurtured and subjected to further scientific inquiry.iii To the rose-smellers, the scenic-route-takers, the tree-climbers...may your courageous journey never end. To the rest, may you be inspired to reclaim your youthful spirit.iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

“…En cuanto a los cambios en el manejo del estrés con la edad, las propuestas más recientes pasan por la mediación de otros factores, como la percepción de autoeficacia o el apoyo social (Trouillet et al, 2009), muchos de ellos ya presentes en la adultez temprana (Brennan et al, 2012). Por tanto, no es posible afirmar que la capacidad para afrontar situaciones estresantes, pueda darse con características propias para el colectivo de mayores, aunque sería un aspecto a estudiar en profundidad en futuras investigaciones.…”

El programa de Estimulación Cognitiva e Inteligencia Emocional para personas mayores (PECI-PM), combina técnicas de estimulación cognitiva con la intervención y estimulación sobre aspectos relacionados con la inteligencia emocional. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar los resultados obtenidos en inteligencia emocional, tras la primera fase de implementación del PECI-PM. Para ello, se contó con una muestra de 28 usuarios del programa, que habían completado 20 sesiones y participado en las dos evaluaciones (pre-post). La Inteligencia Emocional se evaluó, antes y después de la intervención, mediante el Inventario Breve de Inteligencia Emocional para Mayores (EQ-i-M20). Tras la intervención con el PECI-PM, se observa una mejora, en la mayoría de las dimensiones de inteligencia emocional (Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Adaptabilidad y Estado de Ánimo). En la dimensión Manejo del Estrés, no se observa un cambio en las puntuaciones obtenidas tras la intervención, lo que lleva a replantear el peso de esta dimensión en la inteligencia emocional de la población mayor. Por otro lado, destaca el papel de la dimensión Interpersonal, que correlaciona significativamente con otros factores de la inteligencia emocional (Intrapersonal y Adaptabilidad), en mayores. After intervention with the PECI-PM, improvement was observed in most of the emotional intelligence dimensions (Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Adaptability and Mood). In the Stress Management dimension, there was no change in scores after intervention, which leads us to reconsider the weight of this emotional intelligence dimension in the older population. On the other hand, the role of the Interpersonal dimension, which correlates significantly with other emotional intelligence factors (Intrapersonal and Adaptability) in older people, should be emphasized.
