Research has indicated that coping styles and social support are moderating variables in the relationship between stress and distress. Few studies, however, have examined the relationship between these variables and the relative health and success of graduate students in clinical psychology. We administered measures of stress, psychological health, social support, and coping styles to 53 doctoral students in clinical psychology. Current grade point averages were used as a measure of academic success. We hypothesized that more successful students would likely be healthier and report less stress, more social support, and utilization of more positive and less negative coping styles. Results generally supported the hypothesis. Unexpected findings were that more successful students were likely to be women and to report increased use of focus on and venting of emotion as a coping style, increased utilization of medical care, and increased stress regarding scholastic coursework.
研究表明，应对方式和社会支持在压力与痛苦之间的关系中起调节变量的作用。然而，很少有研究考察这些变量与临床心理学研究生的相对健康状况和学业成就之间的关系。我们对53名临床心理学博士生进行了压力、心理健康、社会支持和应对方式的测量。当前的平均绩点被用作学业成就的衡量标准。我们假设，更成功的学生可能更健康，报告的压力更小，社会支持更多，并且更多地使用积极的应对方式，更少地使用消极的应对方式。结果总体上支持了这一假设。意外的发现是，更成功的学生可能是女性，并且报告增加了将关注和宣泄情绪作为一种应对方式的使用，增加了医疗保健的利用，以及对学业课程的压力增加。
