Stress; Life changes and daily hassels.
Rahe Et Al, 1970. Life changes and stress.
-Wanted to see whether the onset of an illness could be related to the scores on the HOLMES & RAHE social readjustment rating scale.
They; -Took SRRS score from 2500 m US sailors before 6mth tour of duty.
-during 6mths medical records kept which provided detailed record of health
-after 6mths, SRRS score correlated with an 'illness score'
Found & Concluded; signifficant poss correlation bet. SRRS score & illness (1 went up, so did other)
-Concluded horrible lifechanging events increases our liklihood of sufferent with illness, experiencing events doesnt gaurentee illness occuring.
