The long-term objectives of this proposal are: (1) to develop a system appropriate for the quantitative synthesis of the literature relating various occupational stressors as risk factors for physical and mental health disorders, (2) to determine which risk factors are strongly associated with such adverse outcomes, and (3) to apply this knowledge to the design and evaluation of specific interventions. There now exist quanitative procedures for accomplishing the research synthesis proposed, and the literature relating various risk factors found in the workplace to alcohol, drug, and mental health (ADM) problems is sufficiently large as to require such analysis. For example, such methods will identify and explain contradictions in the literature and estimate the magnitude of the relationships between presumed stressors and ADM outcomes. The proposed work brings together a team of research methodologists and content specialists who have requisite skills to accomplish these objectives. The methodologists have been involved in extending the meta-analysis" techniques developed by Glass (1977) to a variety of applied research settings similar to those found in the occupational stress literature. Similarly, other methodologists have adapted these analytic methods to handle correlational results of the type that characterize this research literature. The combination of both these methodological developments are essential to the proper conduct of the proposed research synthesis. Equally important is knowledge of the content area, especially an understanding of the many variables and measures used in this occupational research studies. The content team has over two decades of experience and contains members who have conducted seminal studies in the area. They will provide conceptual guidance in the retrieval and coding of the studies. This project will focus specifically on the extensive literature relating occupational stressors as factors for ADM disorders. During the two years of this proposed research project, at least two separate major analyses will be conducted. Separate syntheses will be performed of studies using objectively and subjectively defined stressors to avoid problems in combining noncomparable measures. In order to accomplish this a specific coding and analysis system will be developed during the first year. Subsequent analyses will examine individual categories of stressors (e.g., role strains, environment, etc.), if necessary (i.e., variation in effect size estimates are not due to sampling error), and the influence of various moderating variables (e.g., individual predispositions, situational factors, etc.)

这项建议的长远目标是：（1）发展一套制度， 适用于定量合成的文献有关 各种职业压力源作为身心健康的危险因素 健康障碍，（2）确定哪些风险因素是强烈的 与这些不良结果相关，以及（3）将这些知识应用于 具体干预措施的设计和评价。 现在已具备 完成所提出的研究综合的定量程序， 和文献有关的各种风险因素发现，在工作场所， 酒精，药物和心理健康（ADM）问题足够大， 需要这样的分析。 例如，这种方法将识别和解释 矛盾的文献和估计的规模 假设的压力源和ADM结果之间的关系。 拟议的工作汇集了一个研究方法学家团队， 内容专家谁拥有必要的技能，以完成这些 目标. 方法学家参与了扩展 由Glass（1977）开发的“荟萃分析”技术， 研究环境与职业压力研究中发现的类似， 文学 同样，其他方法学家也采用了这些分析方法。 方法来处理表征此 研究文献 这两种方法的结合 发展是必要的适当进行拟议的研究 合成. 同样重要的是内容领域的知识，特别是 了解这个职业中使用的许多变量和措施 调查研究。 内容团队拥有超过二十年的经验， 该组织的成员在该领域进行了开创性的研究。 他们将 为研究的检索和编码提供概念指导。 该项目将特别侧重于广泛的文献， 职业紧张因素作为ADM障碍的因素。 两个年度内 在这个研究项目中，至少有两个独立的主要分析 将进行。 将使用以下方法对研究进行单独合成： 客观和主观定义的压力源，以避免问题， 结合不可比的测量。 为了实现这一目标， 第一年将开发编码和分析系统。 随后的分析将检查个别类别的压力源（例如， 角色紧张、环境等），如果需要（即，效果变化 大小估计不是由于抽样误差），以及各种因素的影响 调节变量（例如，个人倾向，情境的 因素等）
