In a three-year prospective study in which life events and psychiatric symptoms were assessed every two months, Fourier analyses led to the classification of event-symptom relationships into five typologies. Only one event-symptom typology, representing 9% of subjects, was consistent with the commonly held causal model. The results indicate that further progress in life-events research will require prospective designs, more sophisticated methods for gathering life-events data than the Schedule of Recent Experiences, focus on qualitative features of events (eg, undesirability or threat), and identification of personal characteristics and coping styles that might augment or attenuate the health impacts of life happenings.
在一项为期三年的前瞻性研究中，每两个月评估一次生活事件和精神症状，傅里叶分析将事件-症状关系分为五种类型。只有一种事件-症状类型（占受试者的9%）与普遍持有的因果模型一致。结果表明，生活事件研究要取得进一步进展，需要采用前瞻性设计，采用比《近期经历量表》更复杂的方法来收集生活事件数据，关注事件的定性特征（如不良性或威胁性），并识别可能增强或减弱生活事件对健康影响的个人特征和应对方式。
