2. INTRODUCTION TO STRESS
A lot of research has been conducted into stress over the
last hundred years. Some of the theories behind it are now
settled and accepted; others are still being researched and
debated. During this time, there seems to have been
something approaching open warfare between competing
theories and definitions: Views have been passionately
held and aggressively defended.
What complicates this is that intuitively we all feel that we
know what stress is, as it is something we have all
experienced.
3. What Is Stress Management?
Stress management is defined as the
tools, strategies, or techniques that
reduce stress and reduce the
negative impacts stress has on your
mental or physical well-being. A
variety of techniques can be used to
manage stress. These include
mental, emotional, and behavioral
strategies.
4. Definition:
Hans Selye was one of the founding fathers of stress research.
His view in 1956 was that “Stress is not necessarily something
bad – it all depends on how you take it. The stress of
exhilarating, creative successful work is beneficial, while that
of failure, humiliation or infection is detrimental.”
Selye believed that the biochemical effects of stress would be
experienced irrespective of whether the situation was positive or
negative.
