Two of the four hypotheses, discussed previously, were found to be true.<\/p>\r\n<p>Consistent with the work of Garon and Mantel (2003), the correlation between stress level and<\/p>\r\n<p>disease was very significant. However, its worth noting that the affect of personality type was<\/p>\r\n<p>statistically insignificant. The lack of relationship between personality and chronic disease is<\/p>\r\n<p>inconsistent with previous studies (Harrison et al., 2006; Davis, Wolf and Jones, 2004). The<\/p>\r\n<p>ANOVA that compares high- and low-anger participants yielded the most significant finding (p<\/p>\r\n<p>= .001). The data was consistent with previous research showing that anger effected stress level<\/p>\r\n<p>(Harrison, Holstein, Calf, Grobeck, &amp; Nelson, 2006). Higher levels of reported anger were<\/p>\r\n<p>associated with significantly less stress. These findings have important implications for health<\/p>\r\n<p>psychologists. Facilitating a person&rsquo;s expression of anger can reduce stress and lower their risk<\/p>\r\n<p>for disease.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Two of the desired inclusion criterion for the participant sample were not met. The vast<\/p>\r\n<p>majority of subjects were Caucasian. Orientals, Mexican-Americans, and blacks accounted for<\/p>\r\n<p>only 9% of the sample. Also, there were too few female participants; there were twenty-five<\/p>\r\n<p>women and two hundred men. Thus, the data could not be used to examine whether gender or<\/p>\r\n<p>ethnicity impacted risk for disease.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This study extends the work of Parlick &amp; Wilson (2007) whose research the American<\/p>\r\n<p>Psychosomatic Society (as cited in Parlick &amp; Wilson, 2007) recently honored as &ldquo;cutting edge in<\/p>\r\n<p>the field&rdquo;. They argue, &ldquo;The progress made in late 20th century stress research has exceeded<\/p>\r\n<p>expectations. Our rapidly growing understanding of psychological factors, in the development<\/p>\r\n<p>and treatment of chronic disease, has set the stage for major breakthroughs in health psychology<\/p>","price_select":"1","temp_doc_name":"upload_57f163a405c496.93973849.docx","word_count":"291","subtotal":7.86,"total_amt":7.86,"firstName":"leslie","lastName":"smith","lastfour":"5975","exp":"0119","address":"2345 w noble heights drive","city":"tucson","zip":"85742","state":"az","country":"United States","transactionReference":"8677983394"}
