Concept
Negative Life Events, Perceived Stress, Negative Affect, and Susceptibility to the Common Cold
- Negative life events, perceived stress, negative affect were reliably associated with increased susceptibility to colds
- When only those persons without an infectious roommate were studied, both perceived stress and negative affect predicted clinical illness, but the association between life events and illness was marginally reliable.
- bigger sample for more reliable picture
- Negative life events were associated with greater rates of clinical illness (mediated creased symptoms among infected people), while perceived stress and negative affect were associated to increased infection
