What is problematic with most definitions of the term stress?

▸ There is a lot of ambiguity regarding the source and nature of, and reaction to, the stressful event.

▸ Stress and stressors are identical, so having a good definition of "stressor" makes defining "stress" less important.

▸ Most definitions ignore the psychological component of stress, focusing instead on biological reactions.

▸ Stress is a laboratory concept used in experiments, rather than a real-world event.
