Population share with healthy stress behavior in Germany 2010-2023

Adjustment weighting was carried out based on gender, age, federal state, and town size.

¹ Personal stress levels were quantified by the question “How would you rate your current level of stress?” and by a question regarding individual stress compensation mechanisms. Those surveyed achieve healthy stress behavior when they deal with stress using effective strategies (such as playing sports, exercising, practicing relaxation techniques, meeting friends, reading, listening to music, etc.) and the subjective perception of stress is low.
