Life stress is a well-established risk factor for variety of mental and physical health problems, including anxiety disorders, depression, chronic pain, heart disease, asthma, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative disorders. The purpose this article to describe emerging approaches assessing using speech, which we do by reviewing the methodological advantages these digital tools, validation, ethical, privacy issues raised technologies. As describe, it now possible assess via speech signal smartphones smart speakers that employ software programs artificial intelligence analyze several features acoustics, pitch, jitter, energy, rate, length number pauses. Because devices are ubiquitous, can individuals' levels in real time almost any natural environment people speak. These technologies thus have great potential advancing initiatives involve continuously monitoring changes psychosocial functioning disease over time. However, speech-based indices yet be well-validated against biomarkers (e.g., cortisol, cytokines) predict risk. In addition, acquiring samples raises possibility conversations intended private could one day made public; moreover, obtaining real-time information prompts ethical questions regarding how data should used medical, commercial, personal purposes. Although has enormous potential, there critical privacy, must addressed.

Stress control is essential for avoiding a state of anxiety in sport competitions, as this may have negative effects on other psychological variables athletes, decreasing their self-confidence and harming attentional control.

Although stress strongly predicts life satisfaction, the psychosocial mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. To investigate possible mediating role of coping, we conducted a cross-sectional study that assessed youths' levels, propensity to engage in three different coping styles (i.e., active internal & withdrawal), ​and satisfaction probabilistic, two-stage stratified cluster sample 1830 high school seniors (986 females; age range: 17-22 years old) from 26 schools or around four largest cities Croatia. We used correlational analyses and structural equation modelling test hypothesis mediates relation between satisfaction. The tested model was marginally acceptable: χ2 = 1613.85, df 177, p < 0.001, goodness-of-fit-index 0.92, Comparative Fit Index 0.91, Tucker-Lewis 0.89, root mean square error approximation 0.067 (90% CI 0.064 0.070), standardized squared residual 0.056.

Abstract Subjective stress severity appraisals have consistently emerged as better predictors of poor health than stressor exposure, but the reason for this is unclear. may predict one at least two reasons. First, because exposure measures consider all stressors equal, measures—which “weight” by self‐reported severity—might simply not treating being equally impactful. Second, subjective index important individual differences in vulnerability. We tested these possibilities preregistered, two‐study manuscript. Across different studies, was a predictor independently weighted or exposure. These results demonstrate that, beyond weighting stressful experiences, indexes health‐relevant differences. Moreover, suggest that be preferred summary metric even when derived from imprecise assessment instruments.
