There are several theoretical positions devised for examining and understanding stress and stress-related disorders. Brantley and Thomason (1995) categorized them into three groups: response theories, stimulus theories, and interaction (or transaction) theories. Given the distinction made earlier between stress as […]
Remaining consistent with the usage of the term ‘stress’ described in physics, some investigators have focused on stress as a stimulus. Most notable among researchers employing this approach were Holmes and Rahe (1967). These investigators devised a list of major […]
Stress is a main contributor to many modern ailments. So, the million dollar question is, how can we cope? How can we protect ourselves, and lighten the load? What do we need to know about stress so that we can […]
A number of social parameters have also been identified that influence the nature of the stressor???stress response association. Most notably among these variables is the influence of one’s social network and the support an individual receives from it. Strong social […]
Regardless of whether researchers approach their field of study from a stimulus, response, or transactional perspective, there is a general recognition that individual differences exist in how individuals respond to stressful situations (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984; McEwen, 1998). A striking […]
In addition to the several demographic or developmental factors that influence the magnitude and patterning of the acute physiological stress response, numerous psychological variables have been shown to affect stress responses that are presumably learned throughout life and there-fore more […]
Stress reactions have been shown to be influenced by a number of individual difference variables over which one has very little control. For example, our age, genetic constellation, developmental and medical history, and in most cases gender are variables we […]
The empirical and theoretical work presented in this chapter demonstrates that a number of stages are needed in creating a comprehensive model of stress that can be used to address the primary questions posed in the Introduction to this book. […]
Considerable attention has been paid to the examination of behavioral or psychological factors related to medical disease outcomes. Borrowing the term ‘stress’ from the field of physics, psychological researchers have distinguished environmental stimuli, known as stressors, from stress responses. Stress […]
