Crticisms of Engineering/Physiological models of stress by Angeli Santos (staff) https://padlet.com/angelisantos/pa0trij8xtdvovuu en-us 2025-10-04 09:58:20 UTC 2025-10-07 09:23:01 UTC hello@padlet.com Limitations https://padlet.com/angelisantos/pa0trij8xtdvovuu/wish/3621488298 Stress can be a subjective experience on an individual level, which makes it hard to define what constitutes as stress or chronic stress.

  • Can your experience of chronic stress be defined solely by the physiological damages it is causing to your health?

There could be other stress reactions that are not physiologically related. Fight or flight may not always be the first or only reaction

There are instances where a person recovers or even improves the capability to cope after experiencing the stress

Individuals influence their environment just as much as the environment influences them. The models do not take into account the role an individual plays in their experience of stress.

As sometimes a push is required to develop or increase the threshold in itself. And this could avoid the collapse stage.


Physiological Model is more focused on the biological part, but how it affects individuals in other aspects is not completely explained.
