Description
This volume focuses on recent theoretical and methodological advances in empirical research and examines the relationship between life events and psychological functioning. It considers life events in child, adolescent and geriatric populations. It also discusses the contributions of small events to stress, the effects of positive events and adjustments to stressful life events. The volume makes a substantive contribution to the social and behavioural sciences.
