Interesting, but I'm not sure that there's much to this. Just because your response is "socially oriented" doesn't mean you're productively dealing with a stressful situation. I mean, we've all been involved in endless meetings at work that were supposedly about dealing with some stressful challenge or other, but in fact did nothing except flatter the boss and drive the rest of us even crazier - as opposed to letting us get stuff done and directly address the issue. The "social" response to stress is just like that.
