Life Events, Coping, Stress, and Depressive Symptomatology
Abstract
The author presents data on the relationships between life events, coping resources, and depressive symptomatology. A probability sample (N = 517) was interviewed three years apart. Respondents with high life-event scores had significantly more depressive symptomatology than those with low scores. Those with personal, familial, and interpersonal resources had significantly less depressive symptomatology than those without such resources in both the low- and high-life-event groups. The best predictor of Time 2 depressive symptom scores was Time 1 symptom scores; losses and resources were also statistically significant factors. These findings demonstrate the complex interrelatedness of life events, coping resources, and depressive symptomatology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
