(involves a lot of different lens) >body negative responses towards stress (getting sick easily, high blood pressure, etc) >behaviours in response to stress (not doing what you usually do in your daily life, such as not doing daily workout due to stress) >mood change due to stress (get angry easily, etc) >responsibilities for tasks your assigned for (meeting deadlines, etc: define and measure variables: must be reliable and valid. Reliability (consistency) -> measures has to be consistent (look for standardized measure on the literatures before constructing your one study)
