Many studies have related life events to various symptoms, but there has been little effort to examine how life events and symptoms experienced by a spouse might contribute to health change in the partner. On 3 bimonthly occasions, 115 husbands and wives completed the Schedule of Recent Experiences and a Symptom Checklist. In 40 of the couples, husbands were psychiatric outpatients, and in 75 they were nonpatients. Among nonpatient couples, symptoms in either partner were significantly predicted by the level of each one's own life events (especially undesirable events) and by the levels of symptoms in the spouse during the preceding 2 months. Among couples in which the husband was a patient, the most important predictor of symptoms in either spouse was that person's self-report of life events. Future research on the social origins of psychiatric symptoms should consider the possible contributions of a spouse's symptom state to the health of the individual under study.
许多研究都将生活事件与各种症状联系起来，但很少有人致力于研究配偶经历的生活事件和症状如何可能导致伴侣的健康变化。在3个双月的时间段里，115对夫妻完成了近期经历量表和症状清单。在40对夫妻中，丈夫是精神科门诊患者，在75对夫妻中，丈夫不是患者。在非患者夫妻中，任何一方的症状都可以通过各自生活事件的水平（尤其是不良事件）以及前两个月配偶的症状水平得到显著预测。在丈夫是患者的夫妻中，任何一方症状的最重要预测因素是那个人对生活事件的自我报告。未来关于精神症状社会根源的研究应该考虑配偶症状状态对被研究个体健康的可能影响。
