The Long-Term Consequences Of Negative Stress

Teens today are fighting a losing battle against stress. Schools pressure teens into competing in tests and even when applying to colleges.

More than 27% of teens during the school year claim that they deal with “extreme stress” (Jayson Sharon, USA Today) that can affect everyday living for them, along with a majority of other stressors.

Another childhood risk factor for crime is psychosocial stressors (C.S. Allely et al., 2014, p. 293). Psychosocial stressors include traumatic events during childhood, such as the death of a close family member (293). In addition to growing up without a father, Cullen’s mother died in a car crash when he was seventeen (Jennifer Hash, 2006, p. 1).

Psychosocial stressors like severe bullying also increase the risk for criminal behavior (293).

Stress can be something that causes strong feelings of worry or anxiety. “Stress can be a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation” (Merriam-Webster, 2014) A person experiences stress “when a demand exceeds that person’s coping abilities, resulting in reactions such as disturbances of cognition, emotion and behavior” (Huether & McCance, 2012, p. 208) Stress is “a reaction to stressful situations at work that leads to a physiological response manifested by psychosomatic symptoms such as hypertension and headache” (Toh, Ang, & Devi, 2012, p. 127).

R. Hill, (1949) used the term crisis precipitating event and stressor to mean a situation for which the family has had little or no prior precipitation and must therefore be viewed as problematic. He asserted that crises-precipitating events affect families differently based on hardships that accompany them. Hill defined hardships as complications of a stressor that demand competencies (resources) from the family. Whether or not a stressor led to hardship (and to what extent) determined whether a family defined a stressor positively or negatively. According to the ABCX formula the crisis – precipitating event or stressor interacted with the family’s crisis – meeting resources.

Stress involves interaction of the person and environment. To quote a definition: “Stress is an adaptive response to an external situation that results in physical, psychological and / or behavioural deviations for organizational participants” (Luthans, 1998). Stress has generally been viewed as a set of neurological and physiological reactions that serves an adaptive function (Franken, 1994). Traditionally, stress research has been oriented toward studies involving the body's reaction to stress and the cognitive processes that influence the perception of stress. However, social perspectives of the stress response have noted that different people experiencing similar life conditions are not necessarily affected in the same manner (Pearlin, 1982).
