In response to book chapter contribution for stress inoculation
Thank you for your contribution to my book chapter. I have, however, decided to remove the paragraph you added, because it did not logically flow with the argument I was trying to make before going onto the next section. I did think of moving the paragraph you added elsewhere, but by adding the paragraph and its accompanying reference would push my chapter quite a bit over the maximum word limit (I was already on 4368 words). Also, it introduced good stress and bad stress, which probably would need to be defined first to give that paragraph a bit more clarity. But like I mentioned, it would put the chapter even further over the maximum word limit.

Also, I just thought I would mention that in the paragraph you added to my chapter you used "i.e." outside parentheses. With APA you can only use Latin abbreviations inside parentheses (with the exception of et al.). When you are using it outside of parentheses it needs to be written out as "That is,". See page 108, section 4.26 Latin abbreviations of the APA manual.

You also used single quotation marks instead of double quotation marks. See page 91 and 92 section 4.07 of the APA manual on when it is appropriate to use double and single quotation marks.

All that said, I do appreciate the point you were trying to make about how stress inoculation could be used to motivate healthy behaviour. It is a valid one.

Thank you again.
