From a human factors perspective...
There is something called the Yerkes-Dodson Inverted U curve for Performance and Arousal (no not that kind). The theory is, and it is proven, that if someone is under-stimulated (under aroused) or over-stimulated (over aroused) their performance will decrease. There is an optimal level of arousal that produces the maximum level of performance.
Therefore it would seem that a little bit of pressure is an advantage because it keeps them vigilant. Whereas too much or too little pressure reduces performance. I am not sure what the context of your inquiry is, but based on the question, that is the best that I could offer.

Depends on your exact definiton of pressure. If you are alluding to peer-pressure than yes. Peer-pressure is a major factor in under-age drinking and the sky-rocketing amount of unmarried couples bearing children. If you are talking about pressure from home or from work then it could possibly swing either way. With all of the confounding variables, most of the time, pressure from a family stand point is just your family members wanting you to suceed and becomeing a stronger, better, smarter person than they had the chance to be. Most parents actually stress about if their kids will be unable to suceed in life. With the right type of constant pressure, some believe that you have that much better of a chance in this world.

No pressure is good. Space is better. That way the person would give you honest answers to something . Rather than being pressured into something the other person wants of them to do. I hope this helps you. I have tried it and believe me it's not good to behave like that. I know I got the opposite responses.

Hurts. I know that when people put a lot of pressure on me to do something most of the time I will mess up. this is very hard on people.

You are very vague with your question. It depends on the type of pressure, the person, the situation, etc. Usually laying a guilt trip on someone hurts both parties....friendships are lost because of this tactic. I believe that communicating and weighing the issues is the best way to handle things.

It depends on the amount as there's a saying: Too much of a good thing can be harmful.
Appropriate pressure helps the person to work more diligently and after completion, feels satisfied and proud.

It acts both ways depending upon situation. Sometimes, people act unwillingly under pressure which hurt their mind and feelings ; sometimes people are convinced with pressure and try to understand the gravity of work and they do it for better results.

It depends on the person and the degree of the pressure. People can pressure me all they want and it won't effect me. That's just the person I am, but my friend on the other hand.. She's easily affected by pressure of any sort.

It mainly depends on the type of pressure. When it's bad is when you making someone do something that might get them hurt or killed or maybe even their feelings hurt...that's when it hurts them.
