“…Even prospective panel studies of life events are inconclusive with respect to the life-change symptom hypothesis. When life events are associated with disorder, the alternative hypotheses of third-variable or even reverse causation remain plausible (e.g., Fontana, Marcus, Noel, & Rakusin, 1972;Gersten et al, 1977;Mueller, Edwards, & Yarvis, 1978;Schwartz & Myers, 1977). For example Ehrlich (1975) reported that personality traits such as feelings of efficacy were inversely related to subsequent measures of life events (Shock Index) that included several economic events.…”

The literature concerned with the relationship of economic variables to behavioral disorder is divided into four methodological categories by two orthogonal dimensions: cross-sectional versus longitudinal and individual versus aggregate. Because of their promise for determining the causal sequence of economic and disorder variables, individual and aggregate longitudinal studies are assembled and reviewed. To coordinate and advance research in this area, a model is offered that synthesizes many of the theoretical links joining economic change and behavioral disorder. This model's utility is illustrated with an overview of its implications for interventions at various levels.

“…It has been argued that in some cases a single major event may be a more important determinant (Brown, 1981), or that the absence of life events may be a stressor (Perkins, 1982). Others have argued that only undesirable events were important (e.g., Mueller, Edwards, & Yarvis, 1978;Vinokur & Seltzer, 1975), or that uncontrollable events were better predictors of illness (Stern, McCants, & Pettine, 1982).…”

“…Finally, there has been considerable criticism of the basic assumption of the SRRS that any event that requires adjustment, regardless of the desirability of the change, may be significant to the onset of disorder. Some (e.g., Mueller et al, 1978;Vinokur & Selzer, 1975) argue that it is the undesirable events that are important, while others (e.g., Stern et al, 1982) argue that events rated as uncontrollable are better predictors of illness.…”

Showing that Life Events are a Cause of Depression—A Review

Some necessary conditions are set out for showing that some quality of life events is a cause of depression. Recent advances in method which help to fulfil these conditions are reviewed in the fields of life events, depression and survey design. Studies which may have been regarded as refuting a causal link between life events and depression are analysed in detail and their conclusions are challenged. Studies which have claimed a causal link have used methods which in general fulfil the conditions for showing a cause. It was concluded that the hypothesis that severely unpleasant life events, particularly events involving loss, are a cause of depression has not been refuted. Furthermore, a number of studies have accumulated evidence for such a causal link. The weaknesses of these studies are discussed. Improved methods are suggested for use in future research.
