  • Chapter

Abstract

Three things make stress an important area of study for a variety of disciplines. First, stress emotions and their effects are of the greatest importance to satisfaction and morale. Second, stress emotions strongly influence every aspect of adaptive functioning, including, for example, problem solving, social competence, and somatic health/illness. Third when stress emotions such as anxiety, fear, guilt, anger, sadness-depression, and jealousy occur, we can certain that some important transaction has been taking place between the person and the environment; in other words, we have response evidence of a psychological event that is anything but trivial in the eyes of the affected person.
