Question 2

Your co-worker is concerned about the two hard-driving managers who head the department.She says "They react with hostility to everyone and everything.Both are walking time bombs who are likely to have heart attacks before they're 50." Respond to your co-worker's prediction,citing the research on personality,emotion,and CHD in your text.

Accepted Answer

It is understandable that your co-worker is concerned about the behavior of the two hard-driving managers in your department. However, it is important to approach this concern with a balanced perspective. While it is true that chronic hostility and stress can have negative effects on one's health, it is not accurate to predict that these managers are likely to have heart attacks before they're 50 based solely on their behavior.

Research on personality, emotion, and coronary heart disease (CHD) has shown that chronic hostility and stress can indeed contribute to the development of CHD. However, it is also important to consider other factors such as genetics, lifestyle choices, and overall health. Not everyone who exhibits hostile behavior will necessarily develop CHD, and it is not productive to make assumptions about someone's health based on their personality alone.

Instead of focusing solely on the negative aspects of these managers' behavior, it may be more constructive to encourage them to find healthy ways to manage their stress and hostility. Encouraging them to engage in stress-reducing activities, seek support from colleagues or professionals, and make positive lifestyle choices can have a significant impact on their overall health and well-being.

In conclusion, while it is important to be mindful of the potential health effects of chronic hostility and stress, it is not productive to make definitive predictions about someone's health based on their behavior alone. Encouraging a supportive and constructive approach to addressing these concerns may be more beneficial for everyone involved.
