The element of chance and the role of the individual in causing negative life events was explored by examining the relationship between measures of personality, symptoms, and a number of demographic variables in a nonclinical population (n = 892). The results indicated that Eysenck's neuroticism was the best predictor of negative interpersonal life events. Symptoms added a negligible amount to the variance explained in the occurrence of life events. The well-established relationships between neuroticism and symptoms and life events and symptoms are discussed in the light of these findings.
通过研究非临床人群（n = 892）中人格测量、症状与一些人口统计学变量之间的关系，探讨了机遇因素以及个体在引发负面生活事件中的作用。结果表明，艾森克的神经质是负面人际生活事件的最佳预测指标。症状对生活事件发生所解释的方差增加量可忽略不计。根据这些发现，讨论了神经质与症状以及生活事件与症状之间已确立的关系。
