What is it about?
Stress generation is a phenomena that describes how individuals can contribute to experiences of stress. Stress generation has more commonly been observed in women and not men. This paper aims to highlight methodological issues that may lead to the recurring myth that stress generation is of greater relevance to women than men.

Why is it important?
Our review of literature shows that their are methodological biases in how stress generation is studied. Thus, we need to ensure moving forward that greater forethought is given to the methodological designs of stress generation studies.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors who have been and are currently mentors in my graduate training. This article also has implications on how stress generation is studied, which has been one of my lines of research for a decent amount of time. More than anything else, and if nothing else, I hope that others find this article thought provoking. For others studying stress generation, I hope it leads to reflection and greater forethought on methodological design.
