    Define Stress.                                                                                                                 (Delhi Board 2008)

    Answer:

    Ans.     Stress can be defined as the pattern of responses an organism makes to the stimulus event that disturbs the equilibrium and it exceeds a person’s ability to cope.
    It is neither a stimulus nor a response, it is a transactional process between the individual and his environmental demands.
    Hans Selye defines stress as “the known specific response of the body to any demand”.
    It means regardless of the cause of threat, the individual will respond with the same physiological pattern of reactions.
