Rights & Usage This item is part of a JSTOR Collection. Sometimes, it is not enough to just cope with the problems – they need to be solved. Most people engage in problem solving every day. It occurs automatically for many of the small decisions that need to be made on a daily basis. For example, when making a decision about whether to get up now or sleep in for an extra 10 minutes, the possible choices and the relative risks and benefits of obeying the alarm clock or sleeping later come automatically to mind. Larger problems are addressed in a similar way. For example: “I have tasks that need to be done by the end of the week. How am I going to get them all done on time?” After considering the possible strategies, 1 is chosen and implemented. If it proves to be ineffective, a different strategy is tried. People who can define problems, consider options, make choices, and implement a plan have all the basic skills required for effective problem solving. Sometimes following a step-by-step procedure for defining problems, generating solutions, and implementing solutions can make the process of problem solving seem less overwhelming. Six step guide to help you solve problemsStep 1: Identify and define the problem
Step 2: Generate possible solutions
Step 3: Evaluate alternatives
Step 4: Decide on a solution
Step 5: Implement the solution
Step 6: Evaluate the outcome
Problem solving is something we do every day. Some problems are small or easily solved - others are more complicated and can seem overwhelming. One way of tackling problems is to use a specific and systematic problem solving procedure. If you’ve tried to solve certain problems without much success, try these steps out and see if they help. Learning to solve problems effectively will help you to minimise the level of stress in your life and improve your overall sense of well-being. Try it out and see. Remember
