Major life events and daily hassles in predicting health status: methodological inquiry.
The present study (N = 97) hypothesized that both major life events and daily hassles would be associated with anxiety and depressive symptomatology. While the results partially supported the hypothesis, the inconsistent findings suggest methodological flaws in each life stress measure. These limitations are reviewed, and the use of the semi-structured interview is presented as one possible refinement.
