Deutsch: Stoizismus / Español: Estoicismo / Português: Estoicismo / Français: Stoïcisme / Italiano: Stoicismo
Stoicism in the psychology context refers to an ancient Greek philosophy that emphasizes rational thinking, emotional resilience, and the pursuit of Virtue as the path to a fulfilling life. Although originally a philosophical system, Stoicism has influenced modern psychological practices, particularly in cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), by promoting the idea that we have control over our own responses to external events, even when we cannot control the events themselves.
Stoicism is the belief that one should live according to nature's plan and accept one's fate with indifference or, in the case of extreme hardship, with courage.

Stomach in the context of psychology refers to the interplay between digestive health and mental well-being. It explores how psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression can influence gastrointestinal function and vice versa. The stomach and the gut are often referred to as the "second brain" due to the complex enteric nervous system that communicates with the central nervous system, affecting mood and behaviour.

In psychology, the term stop can be associated with various processes, but it is particularly relevant in the context of cognitive control and behavioral inhibition.

This capability is crucial for adaptive behavior, allowing individuals to cease actions that are inappropriate, harmful, or no longer relevant to the situation.

Deutsch: Stopp-Start / Español: Parar-empezar / Português: Parar-iniciar / Français: Arrêter-commencer / Italiano: Fermare-iniziare
This is a sex therapy technique used for premature ejaculation; the man or his partner stimulates his penis until he is about to ejaculate; the man then relaxes and concentrates on the sensations in his body until his level of arousal declines; the goal of this technique is for the man to learn to identify the point of ejaculatory inevitability and to control his arousal level at that point.
Stop-start in general psychology refers to a behavioural technique commonly used to manage impulsive or undesirable actions and to promote self-regulation. It is often employed in therapeutic contexts, including the treatment of anxiety, compulsive behaviours, or sexual dysfunction, particularly premature ejaculation.
Stop-Start Procedure refers to a method of treatment for premature ejaculation in which the man or his partner stimulates him to sexual excitement, and, as he approaches the point of orgasmic inevitability, stimulation is stopped. This procedure is repeated over time which can result to the man's development of greater control over his orgasmic response.
Storage refers to the process by which people store in memory information they have acquired from the environment.
Deutsch: Belastung / Español: tensión / Português: tensão / Français: tension / Italiano: tensione
Strain in psychology refers to the mental, emotional, or physical stress experienced by an individual when dealing with challenging situations or demands that exceed their capacity to cope effectively.
