	Advantages	Disadvantages Life changes will have a different effect on different people - individual differences.. Study used US Navy Personnel - results are gender and culturally specific and when generalised to others it must be done with caution. This was a correlation study. Correlations do not necessarily mean causation, only an association. The study requires informed consent and debriefing. Recalling traumatic life events might put participants in distress.
	Evaluation The SSRS do not take into account individual differences. Life changes have a different effect on different people. This study is not representative of the entire population as the study was only done on US Navy personnel - results are gender and culturally specific. Also a correlation does not necessarily mean causation. Ethical issues concerning this study are: the study requires informed consent and full debriefing and also participants recalling traumatic life events might cause them distress.
