Psychological research suggests that our control beliefs impact our daily stress and coping strategies, especially in uncertain times, influencing how we respond to challenges.
The politicization of the election has led to heightened fears among Americans, with many believing the outcome could lead to violence, drastically affecting their stress levels.
