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：基于应激现象的重要研究价值，本研究以交互作用应激模型（Transactional Stress Model）为理论基础，旨在评估应激、应对策略、负性生活事件与生物标志物之间的关联。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标志物的关联中发挥中介作用。本研究样本共纳入96名某生物医学院校实验室的参与者，其中女性占比77.78%。所有参与者均完成了简易应对方式问卷（Brief COPE）以及负性生活事件调查问卷。在问卷施测结束后不久，研究人员采集了参与者的实验室检测样本。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知识体系提供补充，同时可为交互作用应激模型提供一项可供参考的实证研究。
