A covariance structural analysis was made based on a model constructed to show the relationship
among environmental stress, trait anxiety, stress cognition, and mental health degree, utilizing
survey data of 3,000 male subjects, and goodness of fit statistics was confirmed. It was suggested
that environmental stress influences directly or indirectly these neurotic patterns, and that
reduction of such patterns requires the resolution of environmental stress. A study of nine ways of
relieving stress revealed that each had destressing effect and suggested that “smoking” would have
the highest effect among these nine ways for curtailing environmental stress and trait anxiety.

The aim of this study was to examine how controllability of a stressor affects biological responses
during an acute stress task. We measured HR, BP, and subsets of lymphocytes (CD3+T cell, CD4+
T cell, CD16+ NK cell) during a 14 minutes mental arithmetic task in controllable or
uncontrollable conditions. Additionally, to investigate change of such indices in detail, we took
blood samples at every 2 minutes in the task. The task elicited obvious elevation of autonomic
activity and changes of proportions of circulating lymphocyte subsets. Especially, the
uncontrollable condition elicited stronger peripheral activity and higher correlation among these
indices.
