What is Stress ?
Stress is defined as a 'demand made upon the adaptive capacities of the mind and body.' If these capacities can handle the demand and enjoy the stimulation involved, then the stress is welcome and helpful. If they can't and find the demand debilitating, then the stress is unwelcome and unhelpful.
This definition is useful in three ways :
- Firstly it makes clear that stress can be both bad and good (or somewhere in between) and that there is a very wide range of things that make demands upon the mind and body and so cause us to feel stressed. These are known as 'stressors'.
- Secondly it infers that it isn't so much the events themselves that determine whether we feel stressed or not, but our reactions to them.
- Lastly, it tells us that stress is a demand upon the body's capacities. It is the nature and extent of these capacities (i.e. something inside ourselves) that determine our response to the demand. If our capacities are good enough, we respond well. If they aren't we give way
