Aims: Correlation between acute stress and the immune system, Findings: NK cells monitored out of and during exam times. Activity lower during exams suggesting lower immune efficiency when exposed to short term predictable stress.

Marucha et al (1998)
Aims: Correlation between acute stress and the immune system, Findings: The time for a punch biopsy to heal in the mouths of students on holidays or in exam time. Those during exams took 40% longer. Supports KG (1984)

Kiecolt-Glaser (2005)
Aims: Correlation Between Chronic stress & the immune system, Findings: Blister wounds of married couples healed more slowly if exposed to constant conflicting discussions rather than supportive conversation.

Malarkey et al (1994)
Aims: correlation between chronic stress & the immune system, Findings: 90 couples spent 24hrs in a lab setting discussing money etc. Conflict produced significant change in adrenaline which could lead to immune deficiency. Supports KG(2005)

Lazarus (1992)
Relationship Between factors difficult to establish as 1) health has many extrenous variables 2) Change in Health is gradual and difficult to pin point one stressor as cause 3) Long term effects not fully documented.

Evans et al (1994)
Aims: Correlation between acute stress and immune system, Findings: Antibody sIgA monitored when students asked to give a talk and during exam period. sIgA increased for talk but reduced over exams.Increased immunity over ST but decreased LT

Segerstrom and Miller (2004)
Meta-analysis (293 studies) showed: Short-term stress boosts immunity, Long-term stress leads to suppression of Immune system, the longer the exposure the more detrimental the effects.
