Assignment:

Question 1: I have 'stressed' (pardon the pun) the importance of this chapter because it is so crucial to the overall well-being of your life and of your academic success. In this discussion thread I would like you to do/discuss all of the following:

What is stress and how does it affect our health?
What is the long-term effect of a negative life event?
Complete the Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory and determine your score.
Does perceiving some control in a stressful situation help moderate our overall reaction to the stress? Give an example in your own life experience.
What do you find the most effective way to cope with stress?

Question 2: View the required video Eyewitness: When the Only Witness is also the Victim. Explore also the television transcripts for What Jennifer Saw the online resources PBS has made available. Use at least two of the concepts discussed in the text (e.g.; own-race bias, reconstructive memory, source monitoring, etc.) to talk about the problems with eyewitness testimony that impacted the case against Ronald Cotton. If you have trouble believing an eyewitness can be wrong, make your case for the trustworthiness of eyewitness testimony by citing empirical evidence from the psychological literature supporting your argument.
