Psychological Stress as a Theoretical Concept
نویسنده
چکیده
An examination of some typical treatments of psychological stress is carried out in this paper. The approach of construing stress in analogy to physical and physiological concepts is rejected since these approaches have not led to quantifiable insights into the action of stress with respect to human behavior. A systematic approach, based on the presentation of J. S. Brown and I. E. Farber, is suggested along with the framework for the quantification of psychological stress as a theoretical concept. Some of the implications of this approach with respect to performance variables are discussed.
