Answer to Question 1

The goodness of fit hypothesis (Folkman, 1984) suggests that coping is most effective when there is a good fit between the coping strategy and the amount of control you can exert over the stressor. In situations in which you can exert a high level of control over the stressor, then problem-focused strategies are the best fit but when you can exert little or no control over the stressor then emotion-focused strategies are the best fit. In other words, if you can make the problem go away by solving it, then your best coping strategy is to tackle the problem. However, if you cannot make the problem go away, then your best coping strategy is to manage your emotional reactions to the stressor rather than trying to solve an insolvable problem.

Answer to Question 2

First, longitudinal studies suggest that human-animal interaction through pet ownership can result in lower blood pressure and heart rate. Second, interacting with pets can buffer autonomic reactivity to acute stress.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
