My research topic is how being creative can help reduce stress. The cognitive process will I will be basing my study on is creativity. Another process I’m considering as the manipulation factor is learning. My study is socially relevant because teens and adults go through a lot and they don’t know how to handle stress in the right way. I know when I was younger it was hard for me to handle stressful situations. My hope is that my study will help people deal with stress in a positive way.
