- Kiecolt + Glaser
- 75 medical students, took blood tests one month before and during exams
- Measured NK cells and life events and loneliness were controlled

- 12
- Riley's Mice
- Affect of short term stress
- Exposed to a cancerous solution
- One group were on a turntable for 10mins per hour for 3 days
- They found the stress group were more likely to develop cancer
- One group were on a turntable for 10mins per hour for 3 days
- Exposed to a cancerous solution
- Affect of short term stress
- Kiecolt + Glaser
- Affect of LT stress
- One group of carers and one group of non carers
- They were given a punch biopsy wound below their elbow
- They found the carers took nine dayslonger toheal
- Concluding stress caused immune suppression
- They found the carers took nine dayslonger toheal
- They were given a punch biopsy wound below their elbow
- One group of carers and one group of non carers
- Affect of LT stress
- Kiecolt + Glaser
- They found Nk cells were reduced in the stress goup
- Measured NK cells and life events and loneliness were controlled
- Concluding exam stress caused immune suppression, fewer cells to fight infection

- Exposed to a cancerous solution
- One group were on a turntable for 10mins per hour for 3 days
- They found the stress group were more likely to develop cancer
- One group were on a turntable for 10mins per hour for 3 days

- Affect of short term stress
- Natural Experiment : No demand characteristics
- Life events and loneliness were controlled and it was a repeated measures design
- They found the carers took nine dayslonger toheal
- Concluding stress caused immune suppression
- They were given a punch biopsy wound below their elbow
- One group of carers and one group of non carers
- Affect of LT stress
- Concluding stress affected the ability to fight cancer due to immune suppression
