Introduction to Stress
- What is Stress? Stress isn't just one thing. It varies depending on the specific situation or type of stressor encountered.
- Common Misunderstanding: Although the term 'stress' is frequently used, it doesn't have a precise meaning.
Different Perspectives on Stress
- External Stressors: Environmental factors affecting an individual. Example: ambient temperature can be a stressor for desert marathon runners.
- Internal Responses: Individual reactions to external stressors. For instance, an acclimatized person in a desert might be less stressed than someone who isn't.
- Types of Concerns:
- Physical Threat: Fear of harm or danger. Example: A baseball batter worried about getting hit by a fast pitch.
- Social Evaluative Concerns: Worrying about how others view us. Example: A baseball fielder might stress over catching a high ball because they don't want to appear unskilled.
Think About the Context
- When someone mentions the effects of stress, always consider the type of stress being discussed. Different types of stress have varied effects.
- Real-World Example: Sport psychologists working with elite athletes must factor in the kind and source of stressors an athlete faces. While it's easy to just think about the key moments in a game, like a free throw in basketball, a detailed understanding requires considering interactions with coaches, organizational expectations, and personal training challenges.
