Answer to Question 1

Stress affects each person differently. Many factors affect our experience with stress. Individual factors include heredity, environment, number of stressors, magnitude of the stressor, subjective meaning of the stressor, developmental level of the individual, and availability of social support.

Answer to Question 2

Stress is a demand made upon the adaptive capacities of the mind and body. This definition helps us understand three important aspects of stress:
1 . How you experience stress depends on your personal view of the stressor, and it can be both a positive and a negative factor in your life.
2 . Your reaction to events in life, rather than the actual events, is what will determine whether the outcomes will be stressful or not.
3 . Stress is a demand upon the body's capacity. When your capacity for handling stress is strong and healthy, the outcome is positive. When you lack the ability to handle the demands, the outcome is negative.
