Description

Give Way: Coping with Social Stress in the Connected World examines stress from a social angle and explores how social connections can both cause and relieve stress.

Readers learn how coping with social stress can involve giving way or yielding via compromise.

Additionally, the text provides myriad ways to connect, communicate, and cultivate a sense of belonging. Opening chapters explore social support from a biological and cultural perspective.

Subsequent chapters examine the ongoing tension between our desire to distinguish ourselves as individuals and our need for belonging and group membership.

Readers learn how recognize and manage social stress and are provided with opportunities to evaluate the social support in their lives.

Social stratification and stereotyping; values and beliefs; gender, language, and politics; social stress as it relates to the family; technology and communication; narrative therapy; media and statistical literacy; and more are covered. Give Way is a sequel to Mind the Gap: Managing Stress in the Modern World, but can also serve as a standalone text.

It is a valuable resource for courses in psychology or sociology that emphasize stress management, as well as individuals interested in personal learning and development.
