This pretty much wraps up 2007, good year. Looking forward to the next one!

Studying for my human factors exam right now and stumbled upon a rare occasion where something I'm learning actually relates to me in real life.

Psychological Stressor
• Frustration:
– Upset in the pursuit of a goal
• Conflict:
– Two or more incompatible motivations or behavioural
impulses compete
• Change:
– Noticeable alterations in one’s living circumstances that
require readjustment (coping)
• Pressure:
– Expectations or demands that one behave in a certain way

Workload as a Stressor
• Workload – stress from having insufficient resources to
meet task demands
