Penfold, Melissa (2013) Stress, Coping and Culture: Impact of Culture on the Revised Transactional Model. Honours thesis, University of Southern Queensland. (Unpublished)
Abstract
With the current workplace seeking to establish and maintain the best state of mental, physical and social well-being of its employees, the exploration of the critical cognitive,
emotional and behavioural constructs of stress has been essential to gain a greater understanding of the transaction between the individual and the environment. Recognising
the crucial role of culture in shaping psychological processes, additional research is needed to expand the current stress-coping theories and frameworks to accommodate for a more informed multicultural perspective of occupational stress and coping. This study utilises the
Revised Transactional Model (Goh, Sawang & Oei, 2010) in a multi-national longitudinal survey study to examine the differences in the stress process between an Australian and
Chinese sample. Using path analysis, the study provides empirical support for the structural integrity of the model. A unique Chinese model is identified that provides cultural insight to the process and in turn contributes to the research exploring a more unified, cross-culturally
relevant stress-coping paradigm. This current research provides a sound theoretical basis for the development of cross-cultural stress management programs within the modern workplace
