Key Concepts

Motivation

Motivation is the psychological process that initiates, guides, and sustains goal-oriented behaviors. In the context of stress, an optimal level of arousal can serve as a motivational factor, driving individuals towards better performance and positive outcomes.

Eustress

Eustress refers to the positive form of stress that can enhance motivation, improve performance, and lead to growth. It is the kind of stress that energizes an individual and is often associated with feeling excited or challenged rather than overwhelmed.

Arousal Theory

The arousal theory posits that there is an optimal level of arousal at which individuals perform best. According to this theory, too little arousal can lead to underperformance while too much can be detrimental. Eustress is thought to arise when the level of arousal is optimally balanced to motivate and enhance performance.
