title: Issues of methodology, design and analytic procedure in psychological research on stress.
abstract: The research literature on stress has grown disproportionately to actual advances in the field. The authors review issues that may underlie this lack of progress within four general domains: (1) conceptualization and operationalization; (2) measurement; (3) design; and (4) analysis.
