The incidence and pattern of self-reported illness were studied over a six-month period in panels of 292 women and 188 men categorized by their experience of stressful life changes and their perceived supportive relationships. Men and women with more than average stressful changes had a risk of illness 1.6 and 1.8 times that reported by those with below-average changes. Analysis of the interaction of stressful changes with social supports showed that women with a combination of high changes and low supports experienced 2.5 times the rate of illness as those with low changes and high supports. This interaction was not found for men. A monthly rating of perceived life stress was correlated with subsequently recalled life changes for both men and women. The findings for women are consistent with the hypothesis that the interaction of stress with degree of social support is an important predictor of illness experience.
在为期六个月的时间里，对292名女性和188名男性组成的小组进行了研究，这些人根据他们经历的生活压力变化以及他们所感知到的支持性关系进行了分类。经历生活压力变化超过平均水平的男性和女性患病风险分别是变化低于平均水平者的1.6倍和1.8倍。对压力变化与社会支持之间相互作用的分析表明，经历高变化且支持少的女性的发病率是经历低变化且支持多的女性的2.5倍。男性未发现这种相互作用。男性和女性每月对感知到的生活压力的评分都与随后回忆起的生活变化相关。女性的研究结果与以下假设一致，即压力与社会支持程度的相互作用是疾病体验的一个重要预测因素。
