Conversely, Type B personalities are relatively laid back when compared with their Type A and even their Type R counterparts. Type B personalities are relaxed, uncompetitive and take life 'as it comes.' They are able to wait relatively uncomplainingly, in comparison to Type As. When compared with Type A personalities, they have significantly lower rates of heart disease and other stress-related disorders (McLeod 2011).

Q3. Describe self-esteem and explain what role it plays in promoting and resolving stress.
Stress in life is inevitable. It is important to have the necessary psychological tools to deal with stress. Self-esteem is often said to be the best antidote to stress. "Possessing little self-regard can lead people to become depressed, to fall short of their potential, or to tolerate abusive situations and relationships" (What is self-esteem, 2014, Psychology Today).

Or the individual may believe that events...
Self-esteem is based upon having a sense of power over the self and others without feeling a need to control every detail of life. Although some people seem to have naturally high/realistic self-esteem, self-esteem can be cultivated through different types of therapies such as CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) which stresses the evolution of a realistic self-image and avoiding negative coping mechanisms and depressive, anxious, and obsessive thoughts in the face of stress (Cherry 2014).

Extroverted managers enjoy most high-stress decision-making situations. They may are prone to the errors typical of managers who make decisions quickly and rely on biases and heuristics, but the stress level of the situation is less a factor.

Stress Management in the Caregiver Setting An increasing body of evidence points to the intensity of the labor involved in caring, and the impact it has on the caregiver in a healthcare setting.

Theoretical Perspective of the Approach The approach's personality models are grounded on biological models. The models are based on empirical human and animal findings concerning the associations between neurological system functions and personality dimensions.

For instance, sensation-seeking and explorative tendencies like drug usage make use of dopaminergic pathways, and
