"Rationality" as a Moderator Between Life Events and Illness.

Pekarik, Gene

Journal of American College Health, v34 n4 p170-73 Feb 1986

The author examined the theory of rational beliefs as a moderator between life events and illness using a sample of 283 college students. Results suggested that rationality functioned to prevent stress and illness when there were few stressors, but did not reduce the effect of high levels of life events. (Author/MT)
