Abstrakt: This study investigated the relationship between stressful life events and social as well as psychological functioning. Stress in the lives of 39 subjects being admitted to the adult outpatient clinics at a large mental health center was measured by the Social Readjustment Rating Scale. Social and psychological functioning was measured by the Denver Community Mental Health Questionnaire and the Mini-Mult, an abbreviated form of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. An association was found between stress, in terms of life-change events accumulated in the preceding 12 mo., and impairment in both social as well as psychological functioning.
