The main results show that: a) women present greater levels of job stress than men; b) the NSS significantly correlates with the components Understanding and Regulation of the PEI, while the component Attention does not correlate significantly with this scale or some of its factors; c) the subjects with high scores in the component Understanding or in the one of Regulation of the PEI, present lower stress levels. Is observed a differential effect of the components of the PEI in relation to work stress. It would be necessary to analyze in more detail the differential implication of each one of the components of the PEI in the job stress and the used of coping strategies.  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
