Abstract
The concept of "stress" in the current academic literature is unstandardized, and therefore confusing. The theoretical approach of regarding stress as an intervening variable seems most generally agreed on by researchers; the unambiguous term "Psystress" proposal to denote the mental state involved. Aspects of vocabulary concerning psystress production and response are also discussed.
