Some notes form the text to help with your homework and any notes you may have missed:
III. THE NATURE OF STRESS
A. Stress
and the body
1. Stressors
force the body to respond by mobilizing its resources – prepare the individual to
fight or flee
2. Hans
Selye concluded that “stress” consists of a series of physiological reactions that occur in three phases:
a. Alarm phase – organism mobilizes to meet the threat with a package
of biological
responses
b. Resistance phase – organism attempts to resist or cope with a
threat that cannot
be avoided
c. Exhaustion phase – occurs if the stressor persists – body’s
resources become overwhelmed
– body becomes vulnerable to fatigue, physical problems, and illness
3. Not
all stress is bad
4. The
immune system is affected by stress – prolonged stress can suppress cells that fight
disease and infection
B. Some
sources of stress
1. Work-related
problems
a. Increase one's chances of catcing a cold
b. Workers who have little control are most at risk from a variety of
illnesses
2. Noise
is an unhealthy stressor if it is chronic and cannot be controlled
3. Bereavement
and loss
a. Loss of a loved one or close relationship is one of the most
powerful stressors in
life
b. Widowed and divorced married people are more susceptible to a
variety of diseases
and their mortality rate is higher than average
4. Poverty, powerlessness, and racism
a. Poor
people cannot afford good medical care and healthy food
b. Poor people are exposed to many continuous stressors such as high
crime rates
and run-down housing
c. Urban blacks have a higher incidence of hypertension
d. Racial discrimination is a major stressor
5. Everyone does not react to stressors in the
same way; it is necessary to
take perceptions into account
