Daily Hassles (Self Assessment)

Compare your total hassle score with the given relative hassle scores. How stressed are you in relation to your peers?
According to the text, the average score was 105. Mine is 38. I have never been one to stress much about anything. I see no reason for it and know that there are very few issues that cannot be resolved or compromised. There’s a good chance many would tell me I do not “stress†enough, but honestly, I have never seen much good come out of over reacting or worrying to a severe degree.
• Select one event that had a high frequency of occurrence. What can you do to lessen the frequency of this event?
My highest rating was “Annoying social behaviors of others†I gave this a 5. I detest incompetence, prejudice, negligence, un-necessary anger, and bad manners, pretty much anything that can and should be controlled by any individual. I currently work with children between the ages of 5 and 16. These behaviors are very common in children, I am able to “forgive†such behaviors in adolescence as they are still learning, but it is very hard to forgive the parents when it is obvious that they are not doing their part. It is also harder to tolerate in the older group of children, as they do know better whether they have been taught by parent or teacher and choose to play the card anyway.
However; I do not commonly stress over these issues, as I feel people’s lives really aren’t any of my business, and their choices are not affecting me personally.
Select three different hassle events you have assigned a score of at least 2 (hassle event occurs occasionally). What biological, psychological, and social impacts do the three selected hassle events have on you when they occur? How can you reduce or eliminate stress caused by the events when they occur?
The 3 most common stressors in my life that were rated at a 2, because I do not put that much effort
