Lesson 20: Stress and Illness: Slide 13
All Stress Is Perceived Differently
- For every individual exposed to an event there is a different interpretation of its stressfulness
- Our perception of stress and therefore our response to it, is an ever changing thing that depends a great deal on the circumstances and settings in which we find ourselves
- It depends on previous experience
and knowledge as well as the
actual event that has occurred
- And it depends on memory too
