Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory is a stress theory that describes the motivation that drives humans to both maintain their current resources and to pursue new resources. [1] This theory was proposed by Dr. Stevan E. Hobfoll in 1989 as a way to expand on the literature of stress as a construct. [1]
Theories of a proposed stress–illness link suggest that both acute and chronic stress can cause illness, and studies have found such a link. [58] According to these theories, both kinds of stress can lead to changes in behavior and in physiology. Behavioral changes can involve smoking and eating habits and physical activity.
Environmental factors, internal or external stimuli, continually disrupt homeostasis; an organism's present condition is a state of constant flux moving about a homeostatic point that is that organism's optimal condition for living. [22] Factors causing an organism's condition to diverge too far from homeostasis can be experienced as stress.
There is no doubt that stress is a part of everyday life, but too much can have detrimental impacts on people’s physical and mental health. What people should know about stress, according to a ...
“The effects of stress on our body can be very deleterious to both our mental and physical health,” he says. “As we are all wired differently, the effects of stress can range from minor to ...
In general, populations living at sea level and in the Southern Hemisphere tend to be more exposed to economic disruption caused by climate change. Whereas recently identified climate-related psychological conditions like "eco-anxiety," resulting from emergent awareness of the threat, can affect people across the planet. [18]
“People have gone to get testing with neurology and when the workups are negative they find out that maybe this is because of the hormonal fluctuations that are seen with perimenopause,” she says.
Humans cannot adapt to a wet-bulb temperature above 35 °C (95 °F). This heat stress can kill people. If global warming is kept below 1.5 or 2 °C (2.7 or 3.6 °F), it will probably be possible to avoid this deadly heat and humidity in most of the tropics. But there may still be negative health impacts. [49] [50]
