[5] [6] Subsequent studies of stress in humans by Richard Rahe and others established that stress is caused by distinct, measurable life stressors, and that these life stressors can be ranked by the median degree of stress they produce (leading to the Holmes and Rahe stress scale). Holmes and Rahe is focused on how life's stressors can ...
Five core concepts are used to reduce anxiety or stress. [3]Recognition of the causes and sources of the threat or distress; education and consciousness raising.; Relationships identified for support, help, reassurance
Hans Selye defined stress as “the nonspecific (that is, common) result of any demand upon the body, be the effect mental or somatic.” [5] This includes the medical definition of stress as a physical demand and the colloquial definition of stress as a psychological demand. A stressor is inherently neutral meaning that the same stressor can ...
Susan Kay Nolen-Hoeksema (May 22, 1959 – January 2, 2013) [1] [2] was an American professor of psychology at Yale University.Her research explored how mood regulation strategies could correlate to a person's vulnerability to depression, with special focus on a depression-related construct she called rumination as well as gender differences.
Definitions differ, and may be along the lines of continual activation of the stress response, [43] stress that causes an allostatic shift in bodily functions, [5] or just as "prolonged stress". [44] For example, results of one study demonstrated that individuals who reported relationship conflict lasting one month or longer have a greater risk ...
Stress hormones are secreted by endocrine glands to modify one's internal environment during the times of stress. [1] By performing various functions such as mobilizing energy sources, increasing heart rate, and downregulating metabolic processes which are not immediately necessary, stress hormones promote the survival of the organism.

Peierls stress (or Peierls-Nabarro stress, also known as the lattice friction stress [1]) is the force (first described by Rudolf Peierls and modified by Frank Nabarro) needed to move a dislocation within a plane of atoms in the unit cell.
In continuum mechanics, the Cauchy stress tensor (symbol , named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy), also called true stress tensor [1] or simply stress tensor, completely defines the state of stress at a point inside a material in the deformed state, placement, or configuration.
