Most people would say they know what stress is. But for scientists who study stress, it has been surprisingly
hard to define. This is because there are so many ways of looking at stress. Some researchers have studied
how our bodies react to stress. You know how your heart beats faster, you perspire more heavily, and your
words do not come out right when you are placed in a stressful situation. But knowing how we feel when we
experience stress does not explain it; nor does it tell us what causes it.
Other scientists have looked at stressors: events or situations that produce stress. A deadline or a poor test
performance or bothersome noises all may be thought for as stressors. Event pleasant events can be
stressors. Planning a party or starting a new job can be just as stressful as being called to the principle’s
office.
Stress. Then can be caused by both negative or positive events , or stressors. Of course, whether an event is
thought of as positive or negative is, in some ways ,a matter of personal choice.
In sum, it is the way people interpret an event that makes it stressful or not stressful. This process of
interpretation is called appraisal . Dedending on how people appraise or judge , circumstances , they may or
may not consider them stressful.
