Trier social stress test

The Trier Social Stress Test is a way to measure how a person's body responds to feeling stressed out or anxious. It works by having the person do a task or give a short speech while people watch. The person's heart rate, breathing, and other physical and psychological reactions are measured to see how they respond to the stress. The test can help us understand how individual people react to stressful situations and how we can best support them in dealing with stress.
