商品簡介
In this reprint from 1970 aimed at sociologists, psychologists, and social scientists, the late Levine, who was a professor of health behavior at Harvard School of Public Health, and Scotch, who has taught health behavior at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Boston U., present 11 essays on stress that occurs due to relationships with other people and the larger social environment, focusing on the conceptual and methodological issues of its sources and consequences. Researchers working in anthropology, medicine, sociology, physiology, and psychology in the US consider the family as a source of stress, work and organizational factors, class and race as status-related sources, cognitive and personality factors, experimental studies of conflict-produced stress, the consequence of physical and mental illness, social pathology and stress, and conceptual models.
