"This book is superior to previous reviews of stress research in a number of respects. . .it should be required reading for anyone, regardless of level of expertise, interested in understanding how stressful experiences contribute to physical and psychiatric disorders and illnessbehaviors."--Psychosomatic Medicine, "How does one describe a text that serves as a ready resource for theassessment of stress measurement in major research on physical and psychiatricillness in humans? Rigorous. What about a text that is meant to convey thistopic to scholars who hail from psychology, sociology, epidemiology, psychiatry,social work and nursing? Comprehensive. Can an edited book achieve these endswithout sacrificing clarity or consistency across contributions, alienating suchdisparate audiences, or losing appeal for advanced students and experts?Emphatically, yes. .... their work is coherent, lively, and to the point."--Contemporary Psychology, "Considerable care and planning went into the design and preparation of this volume. The chapters share a consistency in style, organization, and quality that is altogether too rare in edited volumes. Each chapter is quite thorough, which should make the volume valuable for more experiencedresearchers. Both the editors and the authors consistently opted to cover carefully selected topics and measures in depth instead of providing superficial coverage to a broader range of topics or measures. Each chapter not only discusses the strengths, but also discusses the limitations of thesemeasures. All told, the range of measures covered by these nine chapters provides a very broad and valuable perspective on what stress is, and how it may be assessed.

Synopsis
This book is a resource for health and social scientists who assess the role of stress in their studies of physical and psychiatric illness. This work discusses how stress is conceptualized, the pathways through which stressors influence the onset and progression of psychiatric and physical illness, the alternate methods of measuring stress, and how one decides on appropriate measurement., Measuring Stress is the definitive resource for health and social scientists interested in assessing stress in humans. With contributions from leading experts, this work provides for the first time a unified conceptual overview of the intricate relationship between stress and a variety of disorders. Its interdisciplinary approach to the selection of appropriate environmental, psychological, and biological measures includes comprehensive evaluations and practical advice regarding a wide range of measurement approaches. For environmental stress, techniques such as checklists and interviews that measure life event, daily event, and chronic stress are discussed. An analysis of psychological measurements includes methods for assessing stress appraisal and affective response. Neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, and immune measures are examined as important biological stress assessments. Contributors also uncover the conceptual underpinnings of each approach as well as the various costs and benefits of available assessment techniques. Reflecting the diversity of theoretical conceptions of stress, Measuring Stress masterfully provides integrative, incisive guidelines that will prove invaluable to students, clinicians, and researchers in health and social psychology, medicine, nursing, epidemiology, sociology, and psychiatry.
