‘Who Is More Stressed, And Why?’

"With great power comes great responsibility", or so goes the thematic and often-quoted (including by the Supreme Court of the United States) Spider-Man phrase, or was it Voltaire?

Either way, considering this popular saying about the relationship between ascendancy and obligation, shouldn’t it follow then that with greater responsibility comes greater stress?

Prof. Jim Lucey takes a workplace such as a legal practice and explores this question. You may be surprised at the answer, and understanding why gives us greater insights into how to manage stress in our own lives.
