This study investigated (on the aggregate level) the relationship between the level of psychopathology in society (monthly rates of inpatient psychiatric admissions) and the population's perception of stress (expressions of worry or dissatisfaction regarding the general, economic, and security situation) and social support (national solidarity expressed as positive attitudes regarding relations between various segments of the population). The subjective indicators were derived from continuing surveys of representative samples of urban Israeli population during 1967-1979. Included were 12 stress indicators and 3 solidarity indicators. As predicted, general stress was positively related to psychiatric admissions, while security stress (due to its cohesive effect) and social solidarity were negatively related to these admissions. Contrary to prediction, economic subjective stress was negatively related to psychiatric admissions. Theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.
本研究（从总体层面）调查了社会心理病理学水平（每月住院精神科入院率）与民众对压力的认知（对总体、经济和安全状况的担忧或不满表达）以及社会支持（以对不同人群关系的积极态度所表达的民族团结）之间的关系。主观指标来自于1967年至1979年期间对以色列城市代表性样本的持续调查。其中包括12个压力指标和3个团结指标。正如所预测的，总体压力与精神科入院呈正相关，而安全压力（因其凝聚作用）和社会团结与这些入院呈负相关。与预测相反，经济主观压力与精神科入院呈负相关。文中讨论了这些研究结果的理论意义。
