Although the term "stress" was only introduced to our culture a mere halfcentury ago, most would agree that it has always been a part of our existence. Currently stress seems to be a central component of our lives and our psychological and physical well-being. As we explore this concept, the following topics will be considered: The evolution of the complex stress response in mammals; the toxicity of the chronic stress response to our health; effective ways to cope with and manage the stress in our lives; laboratory and field scientific techniques used to contribute to the scientific stress literature. Supplemental texts, videos, writing exercises (i.e., stressographies) will be used to augment lectures and discussions in the classroom.
