This study examined the effects of life events, social support, personality traits, and siblings' birth-order on the health of women. 199 middle-class participants were included. 95 women, randomly assigned from four different patient groups, were compared with a control group of 96 randomly selected women without any special health problems. They completed a questionnaire which included questions regarding family background, health, different life events, social support, and signs of disease and a projective test, the Sivik Psychosomatism Test. Analysis indicated that report of negative life events was associated with more physical symptoms than positive life events and that the patient groups reported more negative life events and less social support than the control group.
本研究考察了生活事件、社会支持、人格特质及兄弟姐妹出生顺序对女性健康的影响。研究纳入了199名中产阶级参与者。从四个不同患者组中随机选取的95名女性与96名随机选取的无任何特殊健康问题的女性组成的对照组进行了比较。她们完成了一份问卷，其中包括有关家庭背景、健康状况、不同生活事件、社会支持以及疾病体征的问题，还完成了一项投射测验——西维克身心测验。分析表明，与积极生活事件相比，消极生活事件的报告与更多的身体症状相关，且患者组报告的消极生活事件比对照组更多，社会支持比对照组更少。
