Explain the term stress moderators, and provide an example of a stress moderator.
Stress moderators help to modify how stress is experienced and the effects it has (Taylor, 2017). Stress moderators come in many varieties and can be either an external resource or an internal resource. One such stress moderator is resilience, helps people to “bounce back” from bad experiences and adapt to changing demands of a stressful situation (Taylor, 2017). Through resilience, an individual can better manage the various stresses of life with persistence and flexibility.
