	Psychology Faculty : Tracey Revenson
		Revenson's primary research interests include: stress and coping processes among individuals, couples, and families facing chronic physical illnesses; the influence on supportive and non-supportive interpersonal relationships on health; couples' (dyadic) coping processes; psychosocial issues of breast cancer survivorship and the interplay of gender and racism on health, particularly mental health, cardiovascular reactivity and smoking.
		I have studied stress and coping processes among children, adolescents and adults, married couples, and families facing recently-diagnosed and long-term chronic illnesses; the use of age and gender stereotypes by physicians; the influence of supportive and non-supportive interpersonal relationship on health; and why mutual-help groups work.
		In addition to couples-level coping, other theoretical foci of the research are : 1) the division of labor among husbands and wives, and how it is affected by chronic illness; 2) the provision of social support between spouses and 3) the ability to measure coping through self-report.

	Coping Strategies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Two general coping strategies have been distinguished: problem-solving strategies are efforts to do something active to alleviate stressful circumstances, whereas emotion-focused coping strategies involve efforts to regulate the emotional consequences of stressful or potentially stressful events.
		Active coping strategies are either behavioral or psychological responses designed to change the nature of the stressor itself or how one thinks about it, whereas avoidant coping strategies lead people into activities (such as alcohol use) or mental states (such as withdrawal) that keep them from directly addressing stressful events.
		Generally speaking, active coping strategies, whether behavioral or emotional, are thought to be better ways to deal with stressful events, and avoidant coping strategies appear to be a psychological risk factor or marker for adverse responses to stressful life events (Holahan and Moos, 1987).

	Stress and Coping
		The study of coping has evolved to encompass large variety of disciplines beginning with all areas of psychology such as health psychology, environmental psychology, neuro psychology and developmental psychology to areas of medicine spreading into the area of anthropology and sociology.
		There are other ways of to approach coping from a cognitive perspective such as that of constructive and destructive thinking as conceptualized by Epstien and Meier (1989) a similar concept to that of optimistic versus pessimistic (Taylor, 1991), the perceived level of self-efficacy and self-esteem and so on.
		As we have seen in the various theoretical paradigms of coping, every factor from physiological, psychological, social, to cultural, both affect and are affected by the coping strategies.

		Because pregnancy entails life changes which affect the emotions, behaviors, and physical condition of pregnant women, it represents a rich arena for the study of stress, coping, and their effects.
		The primary hypothesis is that the adverse effects of prenatal stress arise in part from their impact on coping and health behavior during pregnancy.
		The final hypothesis is that dispositional variables indirectly influence adverse birth outcomes via their effects on prenatal stress response, coping, and health behaviors.

		The groups included those who had lost a spouse, a parent, an adult sibling, or a child; and those who had lost their significant other to cancer or cardiovascular disease on one hand as opposed to the stigmatized disease of AIDS on the other.
		Each chapter is illustrated with real-life examples throughout and ends with a section called "Voices" in which bereaved people describe their various attempts to cope in their own words.
