应对压力的可能适应成本之一是响应后续适应需求的能力减弱。本文研究了主要生活事件和慢性压力源之间的复杂相互作用。暴露于更高水平烟雾的大洛杉矶都市区的居民,他们最近也经历了一个紧张的生活事件,比那些暴露于污染中的人表现出更差的心理健康,他们最近没有经历过一个紧张的生活事件。然而,烟雾水平对心理健康没有直接影响。这些模式的结果都在一个横向和纵向研究中复制。心理脆弱性和环境条件的相互作用进行了讨论,可能有不同的健康影响相对离散的压力事件,往往需要动员主要资源比更持久和苛刻的来源,烦恼和刺激面临的日常生活(埃文斯和科恩,在新闻界;拉撒路和科恩,1977年; Pearlin,Menaghan,利伯曼,和Mullan,1981年)。尽管一个或多
One of the possible adaptive costs of coping with stress is diminished capacity to respond to subsequent adaptive demands. This paper examined the complex interplay between major life events and one source of chronic strain. Residents of the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area exposed to higher levels of smog, who had also experienced a recent stressful life event, exhibited poorer mental health than those exposed to pollution who had not experienced a recent stressful life event. There were, however, no direct effects of smog levels on mental health. These patterns of results were replicated in both a cross-sectional and a longitudinal study. The interplay of psychosocial vulnerability and environmental conditions is discussed.There may be different health implications of relatively discreteorived stressful events that often require mobilization of major resources than the more persistent and demanding sources of annoyance and irritation confronted in daily living (Evans & Cohen, in press; Lazarus & Cohen, 1977; Pearlin, Menaghan, Lieberman, & Mullan, 1981).
