Demographic Differences among Children in Judging and Experiencing Specific Stressful Life Events.

Pryor-Brown, Lannie; And Others

Journal of Special Education, v20 n3 p339-46 Fall 1986

When urban (N=221) and suburban (N=282) fourth- to sixth-graders judged the level of upset of 22 stressful life events, girls generally judged events to be more upsetting, both cognitively and experientially. Urban children experienced more stressful events than suburban children and judged them, experientially, to be more upsetting. (Author/CB)
