失业被认为是成年人所能经历的压力较大的生活事件之一。失业导致社会地位下降，扰乱家庭和社会角色，造成经济压力，丧失自尊，所有这些都对心理健康产生有害影响。我们研究了巴尔的摩269名有受抚养子女的失业成年人的精神症状；一半的样本在失业一年后重返工作岗位。另一组由92名连续受雇的社区居民组成的比较组也接受了采访。从生活压力事件的角度出发，我们研究了Dohrenwend和Dohrenwend [I]提出的生活事件如何与精神压力相关的三种模型。社会地位与心理障碍：一个因果调查，纽约威利，1969年，凌晨2点。[j].中华精神病学杂志，1999,12(2)。我们的研究结果支持压力过程的“附加负担”模型，该模型也显示了随后再就业后心理健康功能的恢复。我们认为，测试的模型没有考虑到生活事件在失败方面的意义，而这种意义可能会影响其对心理困扰的影响。
Unemployment is viewed as one of the more stressful of life events that an adult can experience. Job loss leads to decreased social status, disrupts family and social roles, produces financial strain, and loss of self esteem, all of which have detrimental consequences for mental health. We studied psychiatric symptoms in 269 unemployed adults with dependent children in Baltimore; one-half of the sample had returned to work 1 year following unemployment. A comparison group of 92 community residents who were continuously employed were also interviewed. Using a stressful life events perspective, we examined three models of how life events realte to psychiatric stress suggested by Dohrenwend and Dohrenwend [I. Social Status and Psychological Disorder: A Causal Inquiry, Wiley, New York, 1969, 2 Am. J. comm. Psychol. 9, 128, 1981]. Our results support an ''additive burden'' model of the stress process, which also shows recovery in mental health functioning upon subsequent reemployment. We suggest that the models tested did not take into account the meaning of the life event int erms of failure and that this meaning may influence its impact on psychological distress.
