Abstract
In accordance with the stress research paradigm of House (1), this paper deals with the “individual perception of stress.” While House points out the individual’s perception of stress, we are mainly concerned with social patterns of stress perception. It is our opinion that the theory of action can solve some problems that arise from the individualistic approach of the stress theory.
