Critical thinking

  1. Do you agree with the idea that some people create their own stress through their type A behavior? Can you give examples to illustrate your point?

  2. Discuss with your group mates how self-esteem is related to self-efficacy expectations and to psychological hardiness.

Psychological hardiness is a personality characteristic that helps people withstand stress).
