“…Negative home environment and family strains were more strongly correlated with functioning for women, whereas higher correlations were noted between work stressors and functioning for men. There is some evidence that persons of lower SES are more prone to the effects of stress (Kessler & Cleary, 1980;Vance, 1982) and that these stressor-depressibn relationships might thus be confounded by sociodemographic factors. However, our findings remained essentially the same when such factors were statistically controlled using partial correlation analyses.…”

We used a stress and coping paradigm to guide the development of indices of coping responses and to explore the roles of stress, social resources, and coping among 424 men and women entering treatment for depression. We also used an expanded concept of multiple domains of life stress to develop several indices of ongoing life strains. Although most prior studies have focused on acute life events, we found that chronic strains were somewhat more strongly and consistently related to the severity of dysfunction. The coping indices generally showed acceptable conceptual and psychometric characteristics and only moderate relationships to respondents' sociodemographic characteristics or to the severity of the stressful event for which coping was sampled. Coping responses directed toward problem solving and affective regulation were associated with less severe dysfunction, whereas emotional-discharge responses, more frequently used by women, were linked to greater dysfunction. Stressors, social resources, and coping were additively predictive of patient's functioning, but coping and social resources did not have stress-attenuation or buffering effects.

“…Also, the more she rates herself as competent, the more she also values internality, and at the same time is somewhat able to take an external orientation in those areas of life in which society may hamper instrumental expressions of internality (e.g., racial prejudice). Data emerging from other studies also show that internality is not a unidimensional predictor of competent functioning for blacks (e.g., Vance, 1973). The relationship of trust to competence may be nonlinear.…”
