Yesterday (28.4.08), I was honored by the CBI officers to give lecture on " Psychological Stress Management" Below is my speech. Definition of Stress There has been a considerable debate about definition of stress. Stress is often researched as stimulus, response and process. As stimulus, it is the environmental agent or stressor, as person, it is the non-specific response. And as process it is the cognitive appraisal system. Current discussion will give much emphasis on stress as process variable (Lazarus, 1966). There are two processes – primary and secondary. Primary process is person’s realization that something is at stake and secondary process is concerned with identification and availability of coping resources to deal with threat, harm or challenge. Therefore, stress is not as the cause rather is embedded in our cognitive appraisal system. This definition gives this notion as stress is not always unpleasant. Unpleasant depends upon one’s cognitive appraisal system.
