Stres Stress
By Reina Wangsadjaja, S, Psi

Often stress is defined by just looking from the stimulus or response experienced by a person. Definition of stress stimulus focused on events in the environment, such as natural disasters, hazardous conditions, illnesses, or quit working. This definition involves the assumption that the situation was very stressful but do not pay attention to individual differences in evaluating the incident. While the definition of stress refers to the response times of stress, a person's reaction to stress, or are in a state under stress (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984).

The definition of stress by just looking from stimulus experienced by a person, has limitations because it does not pay attention to individual differences that affect assumptions regarding the stressor. Meanwhile, if the stress is defined from the response, then there is no systematic way to identify which one will be the stressors and which are not. To recognize it, needs to be seen first reaction. In addition, many psychological stress responses may indicate that when it actually is not a psychological stress. From this description, it seems that the response can not be reliably assessed in response to psychological stress in the absence of a reference stimulus (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984).

In short, all the stimulus-response approach refers to the crucial question about the stimulus that produces a certain stress responses and responses that indicate a particular stressor. Which defines the stress is the stimulus-response relationship was observed, not stimulus or response. Stimulus is a stressor when the stimulus produces a stressful response, and the response is said full pressure when the response is generated by the demands, flogging, a threat or a burden. Therefore, stress is the relationship between the individual and the environment by individuals assessed overload or exceed its power and threatened his health (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984).
