Abstract

Stress can be defined as an arousal reaction to some outside stimulus (Girdano & Everly, 1986), or as the nonspecific response of the body to any demand made upon it (Selye, 1974; Organ & Bateman, 1986). The identifiable symptoms of the stress reaction are heightened arousal of both psychological and physiological processes. Research into stress began with the general adaptation syndrome (G.A.S.) in 1936, which provided the foundation for the relationship between the physiology and pathology of stress (Selye, 1974).
