Lesson 5: Physiological & psychological characteristics of responses to stress


Exposure to stressful situations and events is a common human experience. From losing your locker key to losing your job – these events can produce stress.

Stressor = any person, situation or event that produces stress. Virtually anything can be a stressor and therefore a cause of stress to an individual.

Stress and Health

Stress =A state of physiological and psychological arousal produced by internal or external stressors that are perceived by the individual as challenging or exceeding their ability to cope.


Biopsychosocial approach to stress
