Stress resistance
Stress resistance refers to an individual's ability to endure, adapt to, and effectively manage stressful situations without experiencing significant negative psychological or physiological consequences. It encompasses emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, resilience, and adaptive coping mechanisms that enable a person to maintain stability under pressure. High stress resistance is associated with reduced risks of anxiety, depression, and burnout, as well as improved overall well-being and productivity.
This trait is influenced by genetic predisposition, life experiences, personality traits, and environmental factors, such as social support and workplace conditions. Individuals with high stress resistance tend to employ problem-solving strategies, maintain positive thinking, and regulate emotions effectively. Psychological training, mindfulness practices, physical exercise, and strong interpersonal relationships can enhance stress resistance.
