Question 11

The mechanism(s)through which self-leadership strategies can influence stress coping include:

Accepted Answer

Self-efficacy, which refers to the belief in one's ability to successfully perform a task or handle a situation, can increase an individual's confidence in their ability to cope with stress. Positive emotions can also have a similar effect by increasing feelings of resilience and providing a buffer against stress. Therefore, option D, which suggests that both self-efficacy and positive emotions can influence stress coping, is the most accurate choice. Option A is close, but it does not include positive emotions, which are also an important factor. Option B is not ideal because optimism on its own may not necessarily lead to improved stress coping, whereas positive emotions have been shown to do so. Option C is too narrow because it only includes positive emotions and does not consider other important factors such as self-efficacy.

This is different from emotional intelligence, which refers to a set of abilities or characteristics that individuals can use to cope with and respond to emotion-provoking situations. Choice A is too vague and could refer to either emotional self-leadership or emotional intelligence. Choice B is closer, but still focuses on personality traits rather than actions. Choice D is incorrect because emotional self-leadership and emotional intelligence are related concepts but not identical.
