title: Interview-Based Stress Assessment Dataset

description: # TitleInterview-Based Stress Assessment Dataset

# OverviewThe dataset includes stress evaluations (6 grades) assessed by interviews of 50 Japanese workers (49 completed follow-up), as well as self-reported stress and attribute information and personality information measured at the pre and one-month follow-up.

# Data SourceInterviews were conducted between December 2022 and January 2023. The average follow-up period was 34.2 days.The main variables were interview-based stress evaluation, with self-reported stress (stress load, mental symptoms and physical symptoms from the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire), well-being (life satisfaction and happiness), and burnout were measured pre and 1 month later. Interview-based stress evaluations were conducted by two occupational health professionals in addition to an evaluation by the interviewer, a psychologist.

# Data Description## main variables are total (time 1 self-reported stress), burnout, wellbeing, meanStressEv (mean overall stress ratings of interviewer and two evaluators), T2_loadAll, T2_mental, T2_physical, T2_burnout, and T2_wellbeing

This could involve varying start and end times or the ability to switch shifts.flexTime: This variable might indicate the presence of 'flextime' in the individual's work arrangement, allowing them to choose their working hours within certain limits.adjustableWorkHours: This variable probably denotes whether the individual has the ability to adjust their work hours, suggesting a degree of flexibility in their work schedule.discretionaryWork: This variable could indicate whether the individual's work involves a degree of discretion or autonomy in decision-making or task execution.nightShift: This variable likely indicates if the individual works night shifts. It could be a simple binary (yes/no) or provide details about the frequency or regularity of night shifts.remote_work_freq: This variable probably measures the frequency of remote work. It could include categories like 'never', 'sometimes', 'often', or 'always'.primary_job_industry: This variable likely categorizes the industry sector of the individual's primary job. It could include sectors like 'technology', 'healthcare', 'education', 'finance', etc.ind: industryind.manu–ind.gove: binary coding of industryprimary_job_role: This variable likely represents the specific role or position held by the individual in their primary job.

It generally signifies a duration or period in years.months: Similar to 'years', this variable could refer to a duration in months. It might represent age in months (for younger individuals), months of experience, or months spent in a current role or activity.job_duration_months: This variable is likely to indicate the total duration of the individual's current job in months. It's a more precise measure compared to 'job_duration_years', especially for shorter employment periods.working_days_per_week: This variable probably denotes the number of days the individual works in a typical week. It helps to understand the work pattern, whether it's a standard five-day workweek or otherwise.work_hours_per_day: This variable likely measures the average number of hours the individual works each day. It can be used to assess work-life balance and overall workload.job_workload: This variable might represent the overall workload associated with the individual's job.
