Orientation, Stress & Coping On UWB's Campus

According to Luthar et al., "resilience refers to a dynamic process encompassing pos- itive adaptation within the context of significant adversity.

" (Giovacchini, 1996, pg. 2) According to Giovachinni research into the psychodynamics of individuals in their experience of current adjustments and symptom formation is "much more interesting and fulfilling than monitoring surface behavior. processes are innately fascinating and their study creates dimensions and viewpoints that expand our appreciation of the versatility of the psyche as our in-depth understanding is increased, in itself, an aesthetic experience."

Coping Styles in Middle Aged Stroke Survivors Extant literature has been dedicated to coping styles in middle aged stroke survivors. Rochette et al. (2006) conducted a study to evaluate the adaptation process, participation as well as depression over a period of six moths in souses and fists-stroke individuals. In their study they described the changes in the process of adaptation (both coping and appraisal) within six months after the very fist
Orientation and Training In assuming the role of training supervisor of a large, local retail company that maintains seven different department stores in one respective city, one major problem that the company faces is its ability to adequately train new salesclerks. Because salesclerks represent the company to the public, the manner in which they conduct themselves is highly important to overall company success and the maintenance of a repeat-client base.
