6. What is stress? - Stress is the condition that individual may feel when he/she is struggling to accept changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. It may give tension which will lead into various responses such as anger, frustration, and nervousness.

8. Stress as Stimulus, Response and Stimuli

9. Stress as Stimulus Aside from being a reaction (or response) stress is also a stimulus as well as a relational condition between person and the situation they are in (Feist and Rosenberg 2012) It is caused by situations that may be life threatening or life changing, such as separation, moving into a new home, or having a new job. These situations or events are often called stressors.

10. Stress as Response It is the way the body reacts to challenging situations. This involve the interaction between the hormones, glands, and nervous system where the adrenalin glands drives the production of cortisol or better known as “Stress hormones” To consider stress as a response to environmental conditions, defined on the basis of such diverse criteria as emotional upset, deterioration of performance, or physiological changes such as increased skin conductance or increases in the levels of certain hormones (Apply & Trumball , 1967).

11. Stress as Relational When a person is experiencing stress takes a step back to look at the situation that is causing the stress and reflect on it. Stress, then, is determined by person-environment fit. Stress, then, results from the process of appraising events (as harmful, threatening or challenging), of assessing potential responses, and of responding to those events

12. Momentary vs. Lasting Stress Sometimes a stressful situation just lasts a moment — like getting through a school play audition or making the foul shot that could win the game. But life also can bring situations that might keep us stressed for a few days, weeks, or months. Even if we're not always thinking about this stress, it can be like a background soundtrack playing in our lives.
