This study investigated (a) relationships between women's causal explanations for divorce and their present emotional health, and (b) the clinical usefulness of the Personal Stress Inventory (Ireton, 1980) as a stress assessment tool. The convenience sample consisted of 36 women ending a first marriage. Subjects were interviewed using the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (Fitts, 1965), the Personal Stress Inventory, and a causal explanations questionnaire. Results indicated that causal explanations did predict self-esteem and emotional distress under conditions suggested by the reformulated learned helplessness model. The Personal Stress Inventory includes an emotional distress subscale that predicted self-esteem, self-perceptions of coping ability, and overall concerns about wellness/energy.
（a）女性对离婚的因果解释与其当前情绪健康之间的关系；（b）个人压力量表（艾雷顿，1980）作为压力评估工具的临床实用性。便利样本包括36名结束首次婚姻的女性。使用田纳西自我概念量表（菲茨，1965）、个人压力量表和一份因果解释问卷对受试者进行访谈。结果表明，根据重新表述的习得性无助模型所提出的条件，因果解释确实能够预测自尊和情绪困扰。个人压力量表包括一个情绪困扰分量表，该分量表能够预测自尊、应对能力的自我认知以及对健康/精力的总体担忧。
