Answer to Question 1

Stress is the response to any demand placed on an organism. Those events which create stress are called
stressors. An individual's response to a given stressor is influenced by both internal and external factors, making
it such that no two people will respond in the same way to the same event and a given person's response may not
always be the same. The impact of a stressor is largely determined by coping skills, an individual perception of
the stressor, the number of other stressors the individual is facing, and any existing predisposition to stress
vulnerability.
