THE PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT OF WORK STRESS: A CRITIQUE
批判了工作压力研究中测量生理症状(如心血管异常、血液生化指标、胃肠紊乱)的常用方法,指出其程序缺陷导致结果不可靠,并提出改进建议。
There has been considerable growth in the number of studies focused on the relationship between stress at work and a variety of physiological symptoms, especially cardiovascular irregularities, abnormal levels of biochemicals in the blood and urine, and gastrointestinal disorders. Many of these studies, however, have used inadequate procedures for measuring such symptoms. Consequently, the results and conclusions of these studies are often invalid or, at best, questionable. The purpose of this paper is to critique the prevailing procedures used in the measurement of physiological symptoms in work stress research and to suggest needed improvements.
