Abstract
In the physical sciences, stress is a relative concept that reflects the pressure or force on a body to deform its shape versus the strength or resistance of the body to hold its shape. When external force exceeds internal resistance, the body bends and ultimately breaks, losing its integrity. If internal resistance is greater than external force, the integrity of the entity survives.

The article draws on the theoretical formulation of stress and coping to examine three important issues: how believing one has control in a stressful transaction can heighten threat, the relationship between control and coping, and pathways through which control can affect the adaptational outcomes of stressful encounters.
