Stress and health : issues in research methodology

Research into stress is growing rapidly and there has been little attempt to reflect on the variety of reseach methodologies employed, or the future direction of research generally. This book should equip researchers and practitioners in health psychology, medicine and human resources, with background for a critical appreciation of published research as well as bases for action research in practice settings. The distinguished list of contributors provide a summary of stress research methods in studies which include mental and physical health, job and life events both physiological and epidemiological and Type A behavioural patterns.
