Equipoise: New dimensions of stress and its numerical modeling

n the present study, we introduce a new stress approach, which completes the transactional theory of Folkman and Lazarus
(1984). It is a numerical model in which we take into account another variable named PSS (Previous State of Stress) that we
estimate necessary to explain why the psychological state of stress occurs or not. In our model, stress is presented in the form
of a mathematical function (equation) of three variables (PSS, SV, R). By evaluating each of these components, this equation
enables us to evaluate the generated stress intensity of a person. By improving this formula, the present model enables us to
take into account another type of stimulus (positive stimulus) and to evaluate it. Many instances of daily stress, that take into
account these new dimensions, have been cited. The stress formula efficiency has been tested by applying it to these examples
and to some concepts like violence and stress accumulation. RQSI (Required Quantity of Stress Index) is an index that we
have introduced in our numerical model. The calculated RQSI enables us to evaluate the average amount of stress (positive or
negative) that a person receives from each stimulus he has been exposed to during a period of time. A new definition of stress
phenomena, on the basis of our new numerical data model, is proposed. .
Biography
Fouad Ktiri is a Clinical Psychologist, a Psychology Teacher, a Researcher and a Yoga coach. His experiences in Clinical Psychology and Yoga-relaxation allowed
him to publish, in 2015, a paper book entitled "Stress - How to prevent and fight it-New psychological, spiritual, body and cognitive techniques". From 2009, he
has animated conferences and participated in many radio psychological programs. His experiences as a physics and computer graduate helped him to combine
psychology and mathematics, which allowed him to elaborate a new stress numerical model and published it in 2016. Now, he is continuing to do researches in
psychology and write articles weekly in Moroccan newspapers.
