The lecture part of the summary wasn't that good and mostly consisted of the literal slide information (for which you could as well just read the slides). However, the article summary was really good and I felt like most of the important parts were discussed! Sadly, there were still quite some typos.

- Rising prevalence of burnout: disability benefits due to psychological problems
rose from 11% to .40%
- Digitization

Jobs that are often considered as ‘bad work’ -> stress:

Jobs that are often considered as ‘good work’ -> no stress:
- Silicon Valley jobs (software engineers, project managers)
- Highly educated and highly paid

Stress: a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or demanding
circumstances
Stress response: psychological, physiological, and behavioral effects of stress
(performance decrease, depression, emotional problems etc)

, Workload/time pressure: f.e. the feeling that there is too much to do with too little time
Cognitive demands: f.e. mentally overwhelmed with all the things you have to do
Social demands, role conflict: f.e. lack of support, group and personal conflicts

Stress is a subjective experience that emerges from both the interactions with the person
and the environment:
- It is never a fault only of the individual that experiences stress, but it is the interaction
- Most types of stress are negatively
- Some types of stress, like time pressure, can have positive effects

Transactional model of stress
Stress is: an interaction of..
- features of the environment or events (stressors)
- an individual’s response (psychological, physiological, and behavioral) to
environmental demands, threats, and challenges (strain)
A particular relationship between the person and the environment that is appraised by the
personal as taxing or exceeding his or her resources and endangering his or her
well-being




Stress research: history
From physiological/behavioristic perspectives:
- Stressor: all the nonspecifically induced changes within a biologic system in
response to an aggressive outside agent
- Stress results from disturbance of homeostasis (i.e., body’s attempt to maintain
stable internal environment)
- Fight-or-flight
- Allostatic Load Model:
- Stability through change
- Allostatic state: reset of setpoints due exposure to chronic demands
