Daily Patterns of Life Stressors and Their Relation to Health.

Abstract

Our work was divided into two major sections: the development of a new questionnaire and procedure for the accurate recording of daily experiencies and the implementation of the new methodology in a longitudinal study of the relationship between life experiences and self-recorded symptomatology. The preliminary analysis indicated that events which were rated as desirable and stabilizing had a protective effect in the sense that the probability of a symptom report in the five days following the event was reduced significantly. Such an effect was quite pronounced in half of the sample (N = 25), yet the remaining subjects exhibited very few significant reductions or exacerbations of symptomatology following events.
