Abstract
A community sample of 574 women provided information on their experience of life events during a 6-month period. Events were classified according both to their severity and their dependence (the extent to which each respondent was rated responsible for event occurrence). This report presents results based on an analysis of the relationship between event rates and psychosocial factors, the psychosocial determinants of the prevalence of Research Diagnostic Criteria diagnoses, and the extent to which knowledge of case and social factor status (statistically) accounted for event rate.Keywords
