In order to gain a clearer understanding of stress and its physical
and psychological consequences, reversal theory takes into account
the fact that many people need stress in their lives in order to
operate. This text organizes stress and health research that has
been undertaken within the reversal theory framework. The first two
chapters outline and provide a focus about reversal theory, thus
acting as a bridge to the rest of the text. For those new to
reversal theory, tables and figures are included which summarize
some of the characteristics of the metamotivational states
identified in the theory, and show how they can be applied
systematically. The following section deals with the effects of
stress, including: stressful events; academic stress; and back pain
and work stress. It then tackles the subjects of the physiology and
psychology of smoking and attempts to quit this sort of addiction,
and the risk-taking behaviours of parachuting and unsafe sexual
practice. Finally the book examines health-promoting behaviours and
the factors which facilitate or inhibit them.
