The perception of stress is believed to result in negative consequences as a result of complex interactions among a number of variables. This study of a random sample of 234 male highway patrol officers examined the relationship among stress measures (perception of stress, report of daily hassles, and items unique to police work) and the specific consequences of stress (burnout, physical symptoms, and job dissatisfaction). Our hypothesis was that hardiness and neuroticism would moderate the relationship between stress and its consequences and that the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) would emerge as a significant predictor of the strain experienced. The two moderator variables we examined exerted clearer main effects, rather than moderating influences, on the outcome measures. The authors found that the PSS was an important and significant predictor of stress-induced consequences.
人们认为，由于多种变量之间的复杂相互作用，压力感知会导致负面后果。这项对234名男性公路巡逻警察的随机抽样研究，考察了压力测量指标（压力感知、日常烦恼报告以及警察工作特有的项目）与压力的具体后果（职业倦怠、身体症状和工作不满）之间的关系。我们的假设是，心理韧性和神经质会调节压力与其后果之间的关系，并且感知压力量表（PSS）将成为所经历压力的一个重要预测指标。我们考察的两个调节变量对结果指标产生了更明显的主效应，而非调节作用。作者发现，PSS是压力诱发后果的一个重要且显著的预测指标。
