I like your exam stress topic a lot, as so many people deal with it. I am talking about humor in my chapter, and I read an interesting study done. They talked about how students' test anxiety was reduced when the teachers added in an extra multiple choice option that was just silly and outrageous. It was a very interesting study, and I think you would find it intriguing given your chapter topic. You can find the PDF here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/87567550009595834.

Including more examples or case studies would be helpful.
The chapter could benefit from further development of the Overview and Conclusion - it should be possible to only read these sections and get a good sense of why the topic is important and what is known/recommended.
For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits.
Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
Research could have been considered in more detail
Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
The chapter would benefit from a more developed Overview and Conclusion, with clearer focus question(s) (Overview) and take-home self-help message for each focus question (Conclusion).
Layout
The chapter uses a basic 1-level structure. The chapter could be abbreviated by developing a more detailed 2-level structure, with major sections using sub-sections.
Learning features
Excellent/Very good/Good/Basic/No use of embedded interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
Excellent/Very good/Good/Basic/No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end.
