介绍了一种将工作情况的社会心理特征信息与国家健康调查联系起来的系统。工作信息可以估算到个人的调查，包含三位数的美国人口普查职业代码。职业平均得分的心理社会工作特点控制任务情况（决策纬度），心理工作负荷，体力消耗，和其他措施的联动系统来自美国全国调查的工作条件（就业质量调查1969年，1972年和1977年）。本文讨论了一种新的方法，用于减少偏见的多变量分析时，可能会出现利用连锁系统的基础上平均得分。通过修改联系系统，调整年龄、教育、种族、婚姻状况以及隐含的性别等人口因素的估算个人分数（因为男子和妇女有单独的联系数据库），可以减少这种偏见。报告了关于联动系统的效率和可靠性的统计数据。所有维度都具有较高的调查间重现性。尽管他们的心理社会性质，决策自由度和体力消耗可以更有效地归因于链接系统比收入（非心理社会的工作特性）。这里提出的链接系统是一个有用的工具，初步流行病学研究的后果，心理社会的工作特点，并构成了随后的文件的方法论基础。
A system is presented for linking information about psychosocial characteristics of job situations to national health surveys. Job information can be imputed to individuals on surveys that contain three-digit US Census occupation codes. Occupational mean scores on psychosocial job characteristics-control over task situation (decision latitude), psychological work load, physical exertion, and other measures-for the linkage system are derived from US national surveys of working conditions (Quality of Employment Surveys 1969, 1972, and 1977). This paper discusses a new method for reducing the biases in multivariate analyses that are likely to arise when utilizing linkage systems based on mean scores. Such biases are reduced by modifying the linkage system to adjust imputed individual scores for demographic factors such as age, education, race, marital status and, implicitly, sex (since men and women have separate linkage data bases). Statistics on the linkage system's efficiency and reliability are reported. All dimensions have high inter-survey reproducibility. Despite their psychosocial nature, decision latitude and physical exertion can be more efficiently imputed with the linkage system than earnings (a non-psychosocial job characteristic). The linkage system presented here is a useful tool for initial epidemiological studies of the consequences of psychosocial job characteristics and constitutes the methodological basis for the subsequent paper.
