Findings and Conclusions Rahe et al (1970)

?
When did the most life changes occur for pps in the 2 year period before going on board the ship?
The last 6 months of the 2 year period
1 of 9
What was the correlation between LCU scores in the last 6 months before going on board ship and illness?
It was a 0.118 positve correlation
2 of 9
What was found out about the correlation between the TLCU scores for the entire 2year pre-cruise period against illness?
it was NOT significant
3 of 9
What was the least stressed (decile 1) and most stressed (decile 10) means?
least stressed= 1.434 and most stressed= 2.049
4 of 9
Why was the correlation between LCU scores and and illness higher on board cruiser 1 and 3 than 2?
The difference in Cruiser 2 was caused by increased stress on board, which was not accounted for in their TLCU score and so the correlation is weaker.
5 of 9
What happens if the environment the pps is in is stressful?
Previous life events have less of an effect on illness.
6 of 9
Who can better predictions be made for?
Pps over 21 and enlisted married men rather than young single men.
7 of 9
What was the low-order positive relationship between?
Pre-cruise life change intensity and reported illness at sea
8 of 9
How could a stronger relationship be shown?
The amount of earlier stress and illness experienced by all sails was low- if a population with greater illness variability had been used a stronger relationship may have occurred.
