Abstract

Several bodies of research are reviewed for their contributions to defining the relationship of individual psychological disorder to social structure and process. The specific problem addressed is the relationship of social class to psychological impairment and its mediation. The generic problem is one of locating psychological processes and individual behavior within a societal framework. Recent work focusing on the effects of economic change and unemployment on psychological functioning is examined in relation to studies of the support characteristics of families and social networks pertinent to psychological well-being. An integration of this literature is presented based on the interdependency of stress and support variables and is, in turn, employed in a conceptualization of the relationship between social class and psychological disorder. It is argued that stress and support factors are systematically organized within classes at several levels of analysis and constitute critical conditions of class membership related to psychological functioning.

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.
