Laboratory studies of psychological stress.

Abstract: This paper reviews current methods of studying psychological stress in contrived settings. Stress may be operationally defined in terms of stimuli, responses or both. On the stimulus side, types of stressors are classified on the basis of stimulus characteristics or kinds of threat involved. On the response side, various indicators of stress are discussed including measures of changes in affective state, adaptive functioning and physiological arousal.
