Abstract

This encyclopedia entry provides (1) a brief history of the ways in which researchers have defined, conceptualized, and measured stress and (2) current recommended definitions and conceptualizations of stress for use with children and adolescents. The entry also describes some of the most prevalent types of stressors experienced by young people and common effects of stress exposure, including effects on mental health, physical health, and learning outcomes. Finally, this entry summarizes what researchers have discovered about the processes through which stressors affect children and adolescents, as well as factors that protect young people from the negative effects of stress.
