Day 196 - Stress is a Dependent Variable

Stress is a dependent variable that is influenced by decision-making load. Decision-making load is determined by the weight and severity of decisions as well as the number of decisions to be made. Cognitive load, uncertainty, and consequences are factors that contribute to decision-making stress. Research shows that decision-making responsibilities can directly impact mental and physical health. To reduce stress, it is important to make decisions promptly and to reduce the number of roles and responsibilities in life.
