Theoretical Background
The Theory that would relate to this research would be the The
Lazaruz Theory as it talks about stress and coping. However, we will not
tackle much on the coping part of this theory but rather more on the
stress part. According to Lazaruz (2001), stress is a relational concept
where stress itself is not described as an outward feeling nor a
physiological pattern, behavior or reaction. Instead it is looked upon as
an interaction between people and the environment around them. This
theory is perfect for this research which is focusing on stress and how it
can be lessened. First step to grasp the enormity of this research is to
understand stress in its psychological ways.
Specifically, Psychological stress refers to the relationship with
the environment that the person thinks is relevant and important for
his/her own growth and well being. In this research, school is the overall
environment of the respondents. We refer school to be the top reason
unto why students are stressed daily due to school demands and
responsibilities that they need to meet. However, he/she may not able
to cope up with the demands or needs that comes with being in the said
environment. This concept is necessary to explain the differences of
each person in terms of quality, intensity, and duration of the stress that
may be experienced in an environment is actually objectively equal. This

will be included in the daily surveys we will hand out of the respondents
on how grave their stress levels are. Specifying on the intensity of stress
on their school demands and personal responsibilities. However, since
they are on the same grade level and are in the same age rate of 12-
13, their stress levels may differ on how they cope and react on the
demands that are pressured on them.
Furthermore, Lazaruz (2001) classifies stress in three different
kinds; harm, threat and challenge. Harm is where the psychological loss
or damage has occurred already. While threat is where there the
overhanging harm is predicted to happen. Lastly, Challenge is where a
person is confident of mastering the demands put upon him/her. These
different kinds of psychological stress also have different types of
different of emotional reactions. Lazarus (2001) ties it into 15 basic
emotions where nine are negative and the others are positive which are
anger, fright, anxiety, guilt, shame, sadness, envy, jealousy, disgust
and happiness, pride, relief, love, hope, compassion, respectively. These
basic emotions will be used as a basis on the surveys we will hand out
our respondents. Each day would consist of a different stress level, a
different mood or emotion based on the individual.
In relation to, this theory also talks about coping and are
classified into two basic functions- emotion focused and problem
focused. Through this Lazarus distinguished 8 groups of coping

strategies: confrontive coping, distancing, self-controlling, seeking
social support, accepting responsibility, escape-avoidance, planful
problem-solving, and positive reappraisal. And even though drinking
herbal tea is not specifically classified into these coping strategies. It
will be classified under planful problem-solving as drinking Blue
Ternatea tea will be a means to lower stress and mood therefore leading
the person to come with his/her problems.
It is further supported by Bryne (1964) and Eriksen (1996),
co-workers of Lazaruz that also studied Psychological stress with him,
that there are two types of people when confronted with a stressful
encounter. This dispositional coping is called repression- sensitization
construct. On one part of this construct are the repressers, these are
people who tend to deny or minimize the existence of stress, who don’t
talk about their struggles, and avoids to think possible negative
outcomes. On the other part are the sensitizers, these people react to
stress-related events by searching information, pondering/ reflecting
and obsessive worrying. Therefore, the gender will also be taken into
account since females are more sensitive to males. However, we will
also be considering how the respondents cope along with the other data
accumulated before deducing the research into a conclusion.
