Key Points

Stress process:

Stress is defined as a substantial imbalance between the demand of a situation and the individual’s capacity to respond.

The stress process consists of four stages:

Environmental demand:
- It can be physical, psychological, or cognitive.
Perception of demand:
- It is the appraisal of the demand
- The available resources and capability to deal with the demand.
Stress response:
- A negative response to the cognitive appraisal of the demand.
Behavioral consequences under stress:
- The stress response affects behavior or performance.
