Psychological Stress and Coping Strategies in Modern Society

Abstract

This paper discusses psychological stress and its coping strategies in modern society. With the rapid development of society, individuals are faced with multiple stressors, including work, family, relationships, economic, socio-cultural and health. Psychological stress not only has an impact on physical and mental health, but may also lead to behavioural problems and deterioration of social relationships. In order to effectively cope with psychological stress, individuals can adopt various strategies such as time management, relaxation training, seeking social support, and professional help. In addition, community support and policy interventions play an important role in enhancing mental health. Through case studies, this paper highlights the importance of help-seeking. Although the study provides important insights, there are limitations such as under-representative sample, homogenous methodology, and neglect of cultural factors. Future research should focus on sample diversity, incorporate research methods, conduct long-term follow-up, consider cultural differences, and explore emerging stressors for a comprehensive understanding of psychological stress and its coping strategies.
