3.4.1—Sources of stress

3.4.1 Sources of stress.

• physiology of stress: the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) and the effects of stress on health.
• causes of stress:.
• Holmes and Rahe's life events.
• work including a study, e.g. Chandola et al. (2008).

This matters because —sources of stress determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —sources of stress to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Sources of stress is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
