There are some studies to suggest that the effects of life stress on children and adolescents may be similar to those found in adults. Boyce et al. (1977) demonstrated a relationship between life stress and respiratory tract illness, Bedell et al. (1977) using chronically ill children as subjects, found life stress to be correlated with day to day changes in health status. Padilla et al. (1976) have found life stress to be related to accident frequency in children; Hudgens (1974) demonstrated a relationship between life stress and depression among adolescents. Similarly high number of stressful life events were found associated with enuresis (Douglas 1973) and psychiatric disorders in children (Heisel et al., 1973). More recent studies have been by Goodyer et al. (1985); and Kashani et al. (1981) reporting an association between emotional diaorders in children and undesirable life events.
有一些研究表明,生活压力对儿童和青少年的影响可能与成年人相似。Boyce 等人(1977 年)证明了生活压力与呼吸道疾病之间存在关系,Bedell 等人(1977 年)以慢性病儿童为研究对象,发现生活压力与健康状况的日常变化有关。Padilla 等人(1976 年)发现生活压力与儿童事故频率有关;Hudgens(1974 年)证明了生活压力与青少年抑郁之间存在关系。同样,Douglas(1973 年)发现大量生活压力事件与遗尿症有关,Heisel 等人(1973 年)发现儿童精神障碍与生活压力事件有关。最近的研究是由 Goodyer 等人(1985 年)和 Kashani 等人(1981 年)进行的,他们报告了儿童情绪障碍与不良生活事件之间的关联。
