From the Paper:

"The Mayo Clinic offers tips for coping with stress and states that "unusual levels of stress can negatively impact" the ability of the individual in accomplishing their goals and in the maintenance of good health. (2008) Stress is described as "the condition we experience when demands exceed our ability to cope" (Mayo Clinic, 2008) The Mayo Clinic states that it is important to identify the triggers of stress. Because the individual is unique genetically and insofar as their personality and the experiences they have had in life, the triggers that result in the individual experiencing stress are different and unique for each individual. While one individual might become stressed in a social setting, another individual would feel no stress in the same setting."
