Success with Less Stress
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In the last three years, lead articles in newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal (Keates, 2007), The Philadelphia Inquirer (Boccella, 2007) and The San Francisco Chronicle (McMahon, 2007) have directed attention to what some are calling an epidemic of student stress in our nation's top schools. These articles describe how the pressure that students feel to succeed has led to rampant cheating, sleepless nights, and increases in depression, drug use, and self-mutilation or cutting. In this article, we present empirical data that corroborate these alarming reports, and we offer recommendations for developing healthier school environments that promote student engagement and well-being.
