Our latest publication highlighting the effects of two major work stressors, social stress and work interruption, was covered in today’s ETH News. Results suggest that while work interruptions increase the biological stress responses to social stress, they do not increase the psychological stress responses. Additionally, work interruptions made participants appraise the social stress as less threatening. The publication co-authored with Victor Schinazi (Bond University), Andrea Ferrario (ETHZ), Roberto La Marca (UZH), Florian von Wangenheim (ETHZ) and Christoph Hölscher (ETHZ) has also been selected as the Editor’s Choice of Psychoneuroendocrinology volume 121.
