A Stressor is anything (physical or psychological) that produces stress (negative or positive) is considered a stressor.
One of the difficulties in studying psychology as a science is that psychologists use everyday language in very specific ways. The word stress is a good example. Stress researchers define stressors as things that happen that require the utilization of resources. Good things â having a baby, getting a new job, or winning an award - can be stressors. Obviously, bad things can be stressors as well. We feel distress when the resources demanded of us outstrip the resources we have.
