stress



The term stress has become popular with most people have what it takes to clear it. In reviewing the extensive literature on the subject, there are many definitions, some of which dealt with indiscriminately from the perspective of stress as a stimulus, such as response or as a result. Without a theoretical argument on its definition, not be the subject of this paper deals with the stress as the body's adaptive response to various stressors (Hans Selye, 1936).

Alternatively to clarify concepts, uses the term "stress response" when referring to the body's nonspecific response to any demand, and the term "stressor" or "stress" refers to the stimulus or situation that causes a stress response.

At the present time have flourished interactionist theories of stress posed by the stress response is the result of interaction between the characteristics of the individual and the demands of the medium. It is believed that a person is in a stressful situation or when a stressor was to cope with situations involving behavioral demands that it is difficult to implement or satisfy. Ie depends on the demands of the medium as their own resources to deal with it (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984), or moving a little more, the discrepancies between the demands of external or internal, and how the subject perceives that can respond to these demands (Folkman, 1984).

The stress response is an automatic response of the organism to environmental changes, external or internal, which is prepared to face any demands that are generated as a result of the new situation, (Labrador, 1992). Therefore, it is not bad in itself, quite the contrary, facilitates the availability of resources to deal with situations that pose exceptional.

These responses promote the perception of the situation and its demands, faster and more powerful processing of information, enable better solutions and the selection of appropriate behaviors to meet the demands of the situation, preparing the body to act in faster and more vigorous. As they activate large amounts of resources (including increased level of physiological activation, cognitive and behavioral), represents a significant erosion to the body. If it is episodic, there will be no problems because the body has the capacity to recover, if repeated too often, intensity or duration, can cause the occurrence of psychophysiological disorders.
