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.
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。
