A cognitive‐affective stress propensity model was examined using field study data. Structural equation models analyses tested hypothesized and alternate models to determine their goodness‐of‐fit with the data. The results supported a direct relationship between stress propensity and strain, and an indirect, mediated relationship between stress propensity and strain through a subjective stress construct. In addition, stress propensity was found to moderate the relationships of experienced negative affect with somatic and with psychological strain, and with one of three measures of subjective stress. Implications of the results for research and practice are discussed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
