A prospective design was used to examine the relation between social problem-solving ability and later psychological stress in college students during the first semester of the academic year. A new social problem-solving inventory measured not only general ability, but also more specific components of the problem-solving process (e.g., problem orientation, problem-solving skills; D'Zurilla & Nezu, 1990). The results of a hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that general problem-solving ability was negatively related to later stress, even after prior stress level and number of life problems were controlled. More specific analyses indicated that subjects' problem orientation was a better predictor of stress than their problem-solving skills. Results are discussed in terms of the possible stress-reducing effects of perceived control and successful problem resolution.
采用前瞻性设计来考察学年第一学期大学生的社会问题解决能力与后期心理压力之间的关系。一份新的社会问题解决量表不仅测量了一般能力，还测量了问题解决过程中更具体的组成部分（例如，问题取向、问题解决技能；D'Zurilla和Nezu，1990）。分层多元回归分析结果表明，即使在控制了先前的压力水平和生活问题数量之后，一般问题解决能力与后期压力呈负相关。更具体的分析表明，与问题解决技能相比，受试者的问题取向是压力的更好预测指标。从感知控制和成功解决问题可能产生的减压效果方面对结果进行了讨论。
