Abstract

This paper compares the coverage of potential life events by the inventory developed by Tennant & Andrews (1976) and the post hoc designation originated by Brown (1974). It was found that the rubric of the inventory failed to describe 5% of 'marked' events and 21% of 'moderate' events. The relative risk of minor psychiatric disorder in response to events was 3.1 for those defined by the Brown technique and 1.4 for those using the inventory. The results suggests that the post hoc designation is superior. This superiority must be weighed against its undoubted costliness.

摘要

本文比较了由坦南特和安德鲁斯（1976年）编制的量表以及布朗（1974年）提出的事后判定法对潜在生活事件的涵盖情况。结果发现，该量表的类目未能涵盖5%的“严重”事件和21%的“中度”事件。对于因事件导致的轻度精神障碍，采用布朗方法界定的事件的相对风险为3.1，而采用该量表界定的事件的相对风险为1.4。结果表明，事后判定法更具优势。这种优势必须与其无疑较高的成本相权衡。
