先前的研究已经记录了社会经济地位（SES）与健康之间的间接联系，本研究的目标是从动态的角度帮助揭示这一现象。作者假设社会经济地位与个人控制感呈正相关，与感知的工作压力源呈负相关。他们利用这些社会心理因素的动态概念，表明这些社会心理因素随着时间的推移相互关联。随着时间的推移，个人控制水平较高的人比个人控制水平较低的人经历的工作压力越来越少，而与工作压力水平较低的人相比，经历较大工作压力的人随着时间的推移越来越感觉到个人控制越来越少。最后，作者认为个人控制和工作压力源的轨迹与同一时期健康问题的积累有关。他们的模型使用加拿大雇员全国代表性样本 (N = 3,419) 的 3 波数据（超过 4 年）进行了测试。潜在曲线建模为所提出的动态模型提供了支持。提出了概念和实际意义，并概述了对未来研究的建议。
Prior research has documented an indirect link between socioeconomic status (SES) and health, and the goal in this study was to help unravel this phenomenon from a dynamic perspective. The authors hypothesized that SES would be positively related to feelings of personal control and negatively related to perceived work stressors. Drawing on dynamic conceptualizations of these psychosocial factors, they suggest that these psychosocial factors relate to one another over time. Individuals who have higher levels of personal control experience increasingly fewer work stressors over time than do those with lower levels of personal control, and those who experience greater work stressors increasingly perceive less personal control over time than do those with fewer work stressors. Finally, the authors argue that trajectories of personal control and work stressors are associated with the accumulation of health problems over the same period. Their model was tested with 3-wave data (over 4 years) from a nationally representative sample of Canadian employees (N = 3,419). Latent curve modeling provides support for the proposed dynamic model. Conceptual and practical implications are drawn, and suggestions for future research are outlined.
