List examples in two columns of common types of stress that people may experience, based on whether they seem to be primarily biological or psychological in origin. Afterwards, discuss how many of these stresses can overlap the two categories.
What will be an ideal response?
In this discussion students must try to differentiate internal and external sources of stress, which is not always easy since there is often an “interaction” of these sources. “Stage of life” changes are generally considered to present external stressors (based on changing societal and cultural expectations), although the ways in which the individual perceives these changes determine the extent to which stress is experienced. Some examples of more purely biological stresses include physical conditions and illnesses, but also symptoms brought on by the emotions of anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame.
