Abstract

Passive stress denotes a set of behavioral and physiological responses to aversive situations faced with which the organism due to situational and experiental (learning) factors reacts with passivity rather than with active attemps at coping with the situation. The neurochemical changes in passive stress may underlie various depressive disorders and hormonal (neuroroendocrinological)
changes may lead to increased risk of infectous disease and possibly cancer due to immuno-supression. The article reviews the empirical basis for these allegations.
