Week 4 Assignment 2
From: Holmes, T.H. & Rahe, R. H. (1967). The social readjustment rating scale. Journal of Psychometry.
Changes in circumstances can be stressful and this stress can impact general health and well-being. Mark each event of the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale that has occurred to you in the past one year. A total score of less than 150 indicates low risk of stress-related illness, a score of between 151-299 indicates a moderate risk of stress related illness and a score of 150 or greater suggests that you are at significant risk of illness due to the stress in your life.
After determining your stress score, write a brief 750 word essay on what steps you can take to reduce your score and in what way would this improve your health.
Your grade will be determined according to the Assignment Rubric.
