title: Structuring of perceived interrelations among life events for college students.
abstract: We attempted to structure a student's perceived interrelationships among major life events in an hierarchy by the use of the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) method from paired-comparison data. Analysis suggested that, although the perception of the ages at which an individual will experience major life events is strongly influenced by age norm and is less variant among persons, the perception of the interrelationships among life events is more variant.
