Previous research has indicated that congitive-emotional factors, psychosocial stress, and systemic activity play a role in the contraction and course of numerous diseases. The present study investigated the relative contributions of these variables. Fifty-five male undergraduates were given questionnaires assessing general emotionality, and psychosocial stress and illness history over a four-year period. Autonomic indices of pulse rate, respiration, peripheral circulation, and skin resistance were also obtained under conditions of rest and stress (threat of electric shock). Using number of past illnesses as the dependent variable, a stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed. Only amount of psychosocial stress and, related to it, number of different kinds of psychosocial stress yielded significant partial correlations. Results are discussed in relation to other research, with emphasis on the conceptual and methodological difficulties of assessing psychophysiological mediators of morbidity.
先前的研究表明，认知情感因素、心理社会压力和全身活动在多种疾病的发生发展过程中发挥作用。本研究调查了这些变量的相对作用。55名男性本科生填写了问卷，评估其在四年期间的一般情绪、心理社会压力和病史。还在休息和应激（电击威胁）条件下获取了脉搏率、呼吸、外周循环和皮肤电阻等自主神经指标。以过去患病次数作为因变量，进行了逐步多元回归分析。只有心理社会压力的程度以及与之相关的不同类型心理社会压力的数量产生了显著的偏相关。结合其他研究对结果进行了讨论，重点是评估发病率的心理生理调节因素时在概念和方法上存在的困难。
