| Abstract | This study examines occupational stress in a sample of farm and factory workers in two Amish settlements in Northern Indiana. The research demonstrates that the cultural background of a respondent and structural differences in the workplace have an impact on the perception of stressors and on the nature of the mediating factors of social support and coping. In an analysis of the relationship between the stress process and psychological distress it is suggested that significant differences exist between farm and factory workers in terms of: the type of stressors encountered, specific others turned to for support, and coping strategies employed. |
