The relaxation and catharsis generated by laughter are positive coping mechanisms. Distraction takes the student's mind off the stress for a while so that she can be recharged and handle it positively at another time. Reframing means looking at the situation from a different perspective. An adrenaline rush is considered a time waster, not a stress reduction technique.
