Abstract

This study examined a model of stress response that includes a stress propensity construct, a subjective stress construct, and a strain construct. Using structural equation models (SEM) analysis, this model provided a good fit with the data. SEM analysis of gender differences indicated that the path coefficients for the relationships between the stress propensity construct with subjective stress were higher for women than for men. Factor loadings for two of the six indicators of the stress propensity construct also differed between genders. The implications of these findings for understanding stress-related constructs and gender differences are discussed.
