FRQ: Perspectives in Psychology

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has been a stressor for people worldwide. The resulting stress (fear, anxiety, and frustration about the disease, social distancing, and quarantine and containment) can bring forth strong emotions. Coping with that stress effectively (seeing it as a challenge to overcome, rather than a threat) can make us stronger as a community.

In our current scenario, individuals are responding differently to COVID - with some isolating themselves entirely, others engaging in the "corona challenge," and many more somewhere in between.

Describe [define] each psychological perspective below and use them [apply] to explain how people are responding to and coping with the spread of COVID-19.

(I did the first one as an example. Please follow my format and write the remaining answers in the same format as mine. Remember to include the HOW and WHY in your application.)

The biological perspective explores how our body and brain structures, functions and chemistry enable our experiences. During the pandemic spread of COVID-19, people might show much higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol (HOW) in response to isolation in quarantine (WHY).
