  • Title: Hassles, life events, and health status among Chinese college students in Hong Kong.
    Author: Chan DW, Lee HC.
    Journal: Int J Psychosom; 1992; 39(1-4):44-55. PubMed ID: 1428620.
    Abstract:
    Major life events and daily hassles were examined in a sample of 102 university undergraduates. While the major clusters of events were related to personal loss, life-style changes, family conflict, and personal insecurity, those of hassles were related to drudgery and uncontrollable environmental irritants, personal concerns, time and work management, minor routine expenses, and the dilemma of emigration. Using life events and hassles, and hassle clusters added significantly to the sensitivity of the concurrent prediction of undifferentiated and differentiated physical and psychological symptom criteria, and consistently showed better performance as predictors. However, the independent contributions of events and event clusters could hardly be discounted. The combined effects of major discrete and minor chronic stress on health status and the limitations of the present retrospective study were discussed.
