Stress is the biological and psychological response to a situation, the demands of which exceed or threaten to exceed our capacity to cope.
Hans Selye produced an influential model of the body’s response to stress, the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS. You can read a good account of the GAS here: www.tinyurl.com/jtvfrld, or see it explained in the form of a video here: www.tinyurl.com/zajb38m. If you are up for a challenging read you can read an article by Selye himself here: www.tinyurl.com/zcbmsam. When it comes to revision, try this quiz at quizlet.com: www.tinyurl.com/hv5vjvl.
