| Question | Answer |
| Lazarus (1990) | Suggests that major life changes are relatively rare in the lives of most people and that the minor daily stressors are a more significant source of stress for most people. |
| Brown (1974) | Suggests that people who are ill may feel the need to provide an explanation for their illness and therefore are more likely to report stressful events than those who are not ill. |
| Brown and Harris (1978) | Found that women who suffered chronic stress conditions were more likely to develop depression. Also reported that working class women were more prone to depression than middle class women. |
| Melchior et al (2007) | Carried out a survey over a year, among 1000 people of a range of occupations, in New Zealand and found that 15% of those in high-stress jobs suffered a first episode of clinical depression or anxiety during that year, compared with 8% in low-stress jobs. Women were generally worse affected than men. |
| Stueve et al (1998) | Compared the role of stressful life events in causing depression, schizophrenia and other disorders. Found that stressful events were only associated with depression and not with the other disorders. |
| Orth-Gomer et al (2000) | Showed that among married or cohabiting women, marital conflict was associated with a 2.9 fold increase in recurrent events for women with existing coronary disease. |
| Gervais (2005) | Asked nurses to keep diaries for a month, recording all their daily hassles and uplifts at work. They also rated their own performance over the same period. Found that daily hassles increased job strain and decreased job performance. Nurses felt that some of the uplifts counteracted the negative effects of the daily hassles. |
