Putting Your Stress To Work
June 5, 2003

PUTTING YOUR STRESS TO WORK

The June 2003 issue of Work & Family Life ([email protected]) offered this insight on stress:

"A group of freshmen at North Carolina State University were asked to write about a stressful event in their lives or simply record their daily activities.  Those who wrote about stress scored higher in a subsequent test of written memory skills.  To find out why, Professor Kitty Klein asked other students to write about an 'extremely negative' or 'extremely positive' experience.  Again, those who wrote about an unpleasant event tested higher afterward.  Dr. Klein suggests that since stress makes it hard to concentrate, writing about it can 'jump-start' a person's working memory.  This, in turn, improves one's attention -- and academic performance."
