Stressors have a major influence upon mood, our sense of well-being, behavior, and health. Acute stress responses in young, healthy individuals may be adaptive and typically do not impose a health burden. However, if the threat is unremitting, particularly in older or unhealthy individuals, the long-term effects of stressors can damage health. The relationship between psychosocial stressors and disease is affected by the nature, number, and persistence of the stressors as well as by the individual's biological vulnerability (i.e., genetics, constitutional factors), psychosocial resources, and learned patterns of coping. Psychosocial interventions have proven useful for treating stress-related disorders and may influence the course of chronic diseases.

压力和健康：心理，行为和生物学决定因素。

压力源对情绪，我们的幸福感，行为和健康有重大影响。年轻健康的个体的急性应激反应可能具有适应性，通常不会造成健康负担。但是，如果威胁持续存在，尤其是对于年龄较大或健康状况不佳的人，压力源的长期影响会损害健康。心理社会压力源和疾病之间的关系受压力源的性质，数量和持续性以及个体的生物脆弱性（即遗传学，构成因素），社会心理资源和习得的应对方式影响。社会心理干预已被证明可用于治疗与压力有关的疾病，并可能影响慢性疾病的进程。
