Answer to Question 1

Health behavior involves activities that promote good health, and it includes both positive actions like eating, sleeping, and exercising adequately and the avoidance of unhealthy activities, such as cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and drug use. Stress can lead people to engage in less positive and more negative health behavior, and these poor health habits, and not stress, per se, may be responsible for much of the relationship between stress and illness.

Answer to Question 2

Lazarus and Folkman suggested two general methods or strategies for coping with stress. Problem-focused coping involves attempts to change a stressor. While problem-focused methods involve trying to find ways to alter your external circumstances, emotion-focused coping involves attempts to alter your own internal distress. Emotion-focused methods help you alter your own internal responses to stressors.
