Stress is defined as an organism's total response to environmental demands or pressures. Morerecently, however, the word stressor has been used for the stimulus that provokes a stress response. When stress was first studied in 1950s, the term was used to denote both the causes and the experienced effects of these pressures. Stress in humans results from interactions between persons and their environment that are perceived as straining or exceeding their adaptive capacities and threatening their well being. The element of perception indicates that human stress responses reflect differences in personality, as well as differences in physical strength or general health.
