Abstract

The relationships between life stress and depression and physical illness were investigated in a sample of 122 normal adult women. Results indicated that life stress was associated with both illness and depression in this sample but that both type of stress and life-style were important moderators of these relationships. Thus, work stresses were associated with illness (not depression), and the relationship between life stress and illness was strongest among work-centered women. Family stresses were associated with depression (not illness), and the relationship between life stress and depression was strongest among housewives. Implications for sex role definitions are discussed.

摘要

在122名正常成年女性样本中，研究了生活压力与抑郁及身体疾病之间的关系。结果表明，在该样本中生活压力与疾病和抑郁均相关，但压力类型和生活方式都是这些关系的重要调节因素。因此，工作压力与疾病（而非抑郁）相关，且在以工作为中心的女性中，生活压力与疾病之间的关系最为强烈。家庭压力与抑郁（而非疾病）相关，且在家庭主妇中，生活压力与抑郁之间的关系最为强烈。文中讨论了对性别角色定义的启示。
