Chronic noise exposure and physiological response: a prospective study of children living under environmental stress

Article Abstract:

Cross-sectional community studies of aircraft noise have found elevated levels of psychophysiological stress among children. The opening of a new international airport in a rural area outside of Munich, Germany prompted a two-year study among 217 third- and fourth-grade elementary school children residing within the noise impact zone of the new airport before/after its inauguration or in nearby communities outside the noise impact zone. Results of the study showed that chronic ambient aircraft noise substantially increased psychological stress among children.

On the value of knowing one's likes and dislikes: attitude accessibility, stress, and health in college

Article Abstract:

Studies suggest that new college students are healthier if they begin study with known academic preferences than those who do not. Tests using regression analysis shows that attitude accessibility, stress and initial health status are inter-related. College entrants who are relatively unhealthy fare worse under stress than those who begin college in a healthy state.

Longitudinal study or procrastination, performance, stress and health: the costs and benefits of dawdling

Article Abstract:

Research shows that individuals who procrastinate are more likely to become ill through stress and other illnesses in the long-term than individuals who do not procrastinate. Evidence suggests that procrastinators are more healthy than nonprocrastinators in the short term. However, they are less likely to produce good quality work despite claiming otherwise.
