What is it about?
The article main's points are: To first assess stress; a preventive efficient stress situation model (PRESS) questionnaire based on social dimensions of stress can be utilized before any stress reduction program, or training. That is the proposed model. Stress has mostly been considered at the psychological level only. Second, the social aspects of stress is tied to the neuroendocrine framework, particularly the role of amygdala and prefrontal cortex for perceptions and responses to stressors. Increased amygdala activities have been tied to traumatic experiences such as 9/11, city living, and countryside living, which are additional benchmarks to the social continuum in which stress also evolves. These are interesting points in the arguments raised.
