CONCEPTUAL PERSPECTIVES
STIMULUS PERSPECTIVE
RESPONSE PERSPECTIVE
TRANSACTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
STIMULUS PERSPECTIVE
• Environmental situations as new, rapid changing, sudden, demanding...
• External stressor gives rise to stress reaction, or strain within the individual(Cox, 1978)
• Social situations which require the focal person to make excessive adoptive effort
• 8 types of stressful situation(Weitz)- speeded information processing, noxious environmental
stimuli, perceived threat, disrupted psychological function, isolation, confinement, frustration, group pressure, blocking
RESPONSE PERSPECTIVE
• The way in which the individual handles the perceived stressors-the defences it
mobilizes and the alarm reactions ignited
• STRESS –an imbalance between the requirements to make an adoptive response and the repertoire of the focal person
• “Stress is the non-specific response of the body to any demand made upon it”-Selye(1966)
TRANSACTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
• Transaction between the person and his environment• Demand to which there are no readily available adaptive responses
• Cognitive appraisal • Coping responses
• “Stressfulness of stimulus exposure or event is dependent upon the pattern of stimulus-organism interaction in a particular time and a particular place”-Appley & Trumbell
STRESS=CAD>CAS
STAGES OF STRESS
• Perception of noxious, problematic, demanding situation
• Cognitive appraisal
• State of emotional disequilibrium followed by psycho-physiological and bio-chemical responses
• Adoptive or coping efforts
STRESS
STRESS is Deviant psycho-physiological state of the individual resulted from a situation cognitively appraised as excessively demanding and requiring the focal person to make some adoptive efforts to cope with it.”
