Compounding Stress
Deutsch: Kumulativer Stress / Español: Estrés Acumulativo / Português: Estresse Cumulativo / Français: Stress Cumulatif / Italiano: Stress Cumulativo
Compounding Stress in the psychology context refers to the accumulation of stressors over time, leading to a heightened state of stress that exceeds an individual's ability to cope effectively. This concept recognizes that stressors, even if individually manageable, can build upon each other to create a more significant, compounded effect on an individual's mental and physical health. Compounding stress is particularly relevant in understanding chronic stress and its impacts, as the ongoing accumulation of stress can lead to exhaustion, burnout, and various health problems.

Identity and inclusivity in the psychology context refer to the acknowledgment and support of diverse identities within individuals and groups, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and integrated, regardless of their background, characteristics, or experiences. This concept emphasizes the importance of creating spaces—whether in communities, organizations, or societies at large—that embrace diversity in all its forms, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, and cultural background.
