This report presents data on prospective associations of life-event measures with psychological symptoms. Two issues in particular are addressed, the one relating to the causal influence of life-events on symptom onset, and the other to the role of personal interpretations of life-event impact in this association. The latter issue derives from a consideration of the cognitive view of stress. Prospective associations did, indeed, emerge and were strongest where the individual was permitted to personally assess the impact of encountered life-events. Temporal patterns of association varied with the kinds of symptoms (anxiety of depression) used as the dependent variable.
本报告呈现了生活事件测量与心理症状的前瞻性关联数据。特别探讨了两个问题，一个涉及生活事件对症状发作的因果影响，另一个涉及个人对生活事件影响的解读在这种关联中的作用。后一个问题源于对压力认知观点的思考。确实出现了前瞻性关联，且在个体被允许亲自评估所遭遇生活事件的影响时最为强烈。关联的时间模式因用作因变量的症状类型（焦虑或抑郁）而异。
