这项研究试图解释一组女性工人突然出现一系列严重的身体症状的原因。用经典生物医学术语解释这些症状的尝试被证明是徒劳的。对这种行为的解释表明，对工作环境最不满意的人往往表现出最严重的症状，而且这些人报告说，他们的朋友也经历了更严重的症状。这项研究建议使用社会学理论来促进对身体疾病的解释，并提供了KerckhofJ和Back的工作的复制，《六月的虫子》。
This research attempts to explain the sudden onset of a series of severe, physical symptoms found in a group of female workers. An attempt to explain the symptoms in classical biomedical terms proved fruitless. Explanations for the behavior indicate that persons who were the most dissatisfied with their work situation tended to present the most severe symptomatology and that these persons reported having friends who also experienced more severe symptoms. The research suggests the use of sociological theory to facilitate explanations of physical illness and provides a replication of the work of KerckhofJ and Back, The June Bug.
