Negative Events, Coping and Biological Markers: An Application of Transactional Model of Stress,

Abstract Based on the importance of the stress phenomenon, this research sought to evaluate the relationship between stress, coping strategies, negative life events and biological markers, based on the Transactional Stress Model. A general hypothesis of mediation was formulated: coping strategies would mediate the relationship between negative life events and biological markers. The sample consisted of 96 users of a biomedical school laboratory, in which 77.78% were female. Participants answered the Brief COPE questionnaire, as well as a questionnaire on negative life events. Laboratory tests were collected shortly after the application of the questionnaires. Mediations were found between Venting, Red Blood Cells and Hemoglobin. The research aimed to contribute to the knowledge in the field of stress and coping, as well as to serve as a possible empirical study of the Transactional Stress model.

摘要：鉴于应激现象的重要研究价值，本研究基于应激交互模型（Transactional Stress Model），旨在探究应激、应对策略、负性生活事件与生物学标志物之间的关联。本研究提出一项一般性中介假设：应对策略将在负性生活事件与生物学标志物之间发挥中介作用。本研究的样本为某医学生物实验室的96名受试者，其中女性占比77.78%。受试者完成了简易应对方式问卷（Brief COPE）以及一份关于负性生活事件的调查问卷，问卷填写完成后不久即采集了实验室检测样本。本研究发现，情绪宣泄（Venting）与红细胞（Red Blood Cells）、血红蛋白（Hemoglobin）之间存在中介效应。本研究旨在为应激与应对领域的学术认知积累新知，同时可为应激交互模型提供可供参考的实证研究依据。
