Talk:Worry

Untitled

I am a graduate student in educational psychology so I am more than confident that the information I entered is correct. However, it is more a prompt for others to add to and improve the entry than a complete article in itself

Biblical aspects

There are several scriptures on worry, e.g., Matthew 6:31 & Luke 12:22. 72.255.52.141 (talk) 00:02, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to add them under the "Religious views" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.103.230 (talk) 01:03, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I've added it, but don't be afraid to edit yourself! :D Gizmoguy (talk) 18:36, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Definition at the start is no good

The document states "Worry is described as a response to a moderate challenge for when the subject has inadequate skills.", but people often worry when there is no real challenge that they're facing (e.g., what if my future husband I've never met doesn't find me attractive down the road), or when facing even a mild challenge (e.g., buying the "right" pants) and when they even have the adequate skills (e.g., the person can buy the right pants, but they worry they'll make a mistake). This is not an evidence-based or agreed upon definition by any stretch.

The citation was for: Csikszentmihalyi, M., Finding Flow, 1997.
