It can only show how many people like to whine about stress. People usually answer what the society expect them to answer. How they actually feel and do is often different. There is a detail study about this in "Quickology" by Richard Wiseman. I'm not saying that stress in Japan isn't a problem, just that the poll does not reflect the actual level of the problem. It could be more, it could be less or even be a lot more polar. Stress polls from surveys always show increasing stress level despite improved living or culture. e.g. Minorities in America is obviously having a lot easier life than their grandparents born before the 60s, but the stress level is still raising. Could it be that more people are expecting life to be easy and yet it's harder than they thought? Measuring stress by asking people if they’re stressed is a flawed study.
