这项研究的目的是比较生活事件量表(LEI)使用的原始权重与从当代职业样本中获得的权重的有效性。50名男性和62名女性制造业员工(年龄范围为16-55岁)在略有修改的LEI量表上对每个项目进行了评分。目前的样本始终赋予事件/项目比原始样本更高的权重，但在项目排名方面有很高的一致性。得分上的一些明显的年龄和性别差异是明显的，并被进一步讨论。结论是，当对年龄和性别群体分别使用加权时，LEI仍然是在工作场所压力审计和流行病学研究中量化背景压力水平的有用工具，在这些研究中，需要对非职业压力源进行统计控制。
The objective of this study was to compare the validity of the original weightings used by the Life Events Inventory (LEI) with those obtained from a contemporary occupational sample. Fifty male and 62 female manufacturing employees (age range 16-55 years) assigned scores to each item on a slightly modified version of the LEI scale. The current sample consistently assigned higher weights to events/items than did the original sample, but there was high agreement in terms of item ranking. Some distinct age and gender differences in scoring were apparent, and are discussed further. It was concluded that when separate weightings are employed for age and gender groups, the LEI remains a useful tool for quantifying background levels of stress in both workplace stress audits and epidemiological studies where statistical control for non-occupational sources of stress is required.
