Life Stress, Self-Preoccupation, and Social Supports.

Abstract

A theoretical framework for stress research is presented which emphasizes the role of cognitions related to situational demands, constraints, and opportunities. The nature of these cognitions is influenced by personality characteristics, recent life experiences, and social supports. Relevant research dealing with these factors is reviewed. Two studies in which elements of social supports were experimentally manipulated are described. Their clinical and developmental implications are discussed. (Author)
