This volume features a selection of scholarly papers delivered at the 27th annual conference of the Stress and Anxiety Research Society (STAR) held in July 2006 in Rethymnon, Greece.

The first set of papers concerns personal, work, and communal stressors resulting from social, cultural, and developmental transitions. Presented next are studies that investigated the role of social support in very specific ecological contexts.
