Models for the Stress-Buffering Functions of Coping Resources
Abstract
Recently interest has shifted from the fact of a relationship between social stressors and health outcomes to factors that may buffer the impact of social stressors. Many forms of the stressresource-adaptation model are possible. This paper argues that there is not one, but at least two distinct versions of the stress-buffering argument. Statistical models corresponding to each of these versions are developed with an emphasis on the interpretive logic of each model. Three other models described are not consistent with the notion of stress-buffering, but are sometimes thought to be. If more than one form of stress-buffering exists, then it is possible that some coping resources play a buffering role. An illustration of how dual stress-buffering works suggests the importance of searching for such resources. Criteria for delimiting and distinguishing cases of stress-buffering from non-cases are discussed in the final section.

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.
