Percepcja i przeżywanie stresu psychologicznego w kontekście kultury kolektywistycznej
Sikora, Renata (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2020)
Stress perception depends on the culture we live in. Perception of stress in collectivist culture differs from its perception in individualist culture. People who live in societies which emphasise the importance of the group and family, recognise stressors as those harming the commonwealth of the community. On the contrary, individuality-oriented societies perceive stressors as those harming the wellbeing of individuals. The process of coping with stress depends on the principles adopted in a given culture. This is expressed mostly by a variety of strategies used to deal with difficulties. People who cherish collectivistic values tend to resort to prayer, try to be with others and endure difficulties. Self-oriented individuals use strategies which focus on stressors and those who alleviate individual cost of living in stress. However, there is no straightforward evidence that efficacy of coping with hardships may depend on cultural orientation of individuals.
