The Perceived Stress Scale : Evaluating Configural, Metric and Scalar Invariance across Mental Health Status and Gender
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated six prevailing factorial models of the PSS among a large sample of psychiatric patients and a matched community sample supported a two-factor model and found configural, metric and scalar invariance of this model across gender but only configural invariance across samples differing by mental health status.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global measure of perceived stress.
TL;DR: The Perceived Stress Scale showed adequate reliability and, as predicted, was correlated with life-event scores, depressive and physical symptomatology, utilization of health services, social anxiety, and smoking-reduction maintenance and was a better predictor of the outcome in question than were life- event scores.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that psychological stress--both perceived stress and chronicity of stress--is significantly associated with higher oxidative stress, lower telomerase activity, and shorter telomere length, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy premenopausal women.

If it goes up, must it come down? Chronic stress and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis in humans.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis showed that much of the variability in HPA activity is attributable to stressor and person features, as hormonal activity is elevated at stressor onset but reduces as time passes.
