Stressor: A stimulus which is the main reason
for stress in living creatures is called stressor.
Why doesn't everyone react to stressors in the same
way?
Some people like to fight with stressors and some people don't
like to even talk about stressors. There are so many reasons for
these differences in reactions. Some of those are:
- Genetical difference. Genetical difference
between people is one of the reasons for differences in reactions
to stressors.
- Cognitive Abilities. Some people know how to
deal with stressors. Some people don't know how to deal with
stressors. So that different people will give different reactions
to stressors.
- Previous experience. Our reaction to
particular stressor depends on our previous experience with that
stressor. Different people will have different experiences. So that
different reactions exist.
- Challenging attitude. Different people will
have different challenging attitudes. People who have challenging
attitudes will fight with stressor otherwise they will show flight
response to stressors.
This is why everyone doesn't react to stressors in the same
way.
