| Annotation | This article examines the nature of distal stressors over a 15 year period and the extent to which they contribute to the explanation of additional variation in the life stress model. Findings show that: distal stressors significantly increase variance explained in physical symptoms and maintain a direct effect on physical symptoms; recent stressors mediate the effects of distal stressors on distress; and social resources have direct and mediating effects on physical distress. Variations exist for different age groups or life stages. The major conclusion is reached that there are multiple pathways to distress that differ for different stages in the life course. (KJ/RH). |
