What is Social Stress?

In today’s world, human beings driven by that natural herd instinct that through history has made them build great civilizations and today’s society, have become oppressors of themselves and oppressors of others as a whole, demanding themselves more and more every day of their lives to the point of excessively accelerating their rhythms of life and allowing themselves to be consumed by significant physical, mental and emotional demands that the environment that surrounds them imposes on them day by day. It seems that at present, it is fashionable letting yourself be carried away by this increasingly globalized world and submerged in consumerism that people now automatically do without realizing that this accelerated daily routine carries a high price.

The human being, by nature, responds to an external stimulus with a reaction, and to the demands that the environment makes daily on the human being, the response obtained is a set of strong negative emotions produced in our brain that affect our daily life, our body and all the tasks that we carry out, making our performance not as expected and living in a state of tension every day that we cannot get out. All these problems produced due to our daily demands are included in a single term that we will know as “stress.”

Components and Phases of Stress

Stressors of the physical environment: Noise, vibration, lighting, etc.
Stressful demands of work: Shifts, overload, exposure to risks.
Work contents: Control opportunity, use, skills, variety of tasks, feedback, task identity, work complexity.
Role performance stress: Conflict, ambiguity, and overload.
Interpersonal and group relationships: Superiors, colleagues, subordinates,
Career Development: Insecurity at work, transitions, stressors at different stages.
New technologies: ergonomic aspects, demands, adaptation to changes, implementation.
Organizational structure.
Organizational climate
Stress from the working relationship and other areas of life ( family, etc.): Couples in which both work.

The stress response can be understood as the individual’s reaction to the stressors that cause such stress. This response presented by the individual in the face of a stressful situation can be of two types:

Response in harmony, appropriate to the demand that is presented.
Negative, insufficient, or exaggerated responses about the demand raised, which generates maladjustment.

At this point, significant individual differences can be noted, since while for some people some experiences are exhausting, complex, or with a powerfully negative effect on the body, for other people, these experiences are only slightly disturbing and do not cause damage to the nervous system and anywhere in the body.

As defined above, stress is a process that involves a sequence of stages or phases to fully develop and reach its maximum expression, involving many negative consequences. It is worth mentioning that stress can stop at any of these stages, which implies that stress can be relieved or worsened until it reaches its full development.
