Abstract
Examined the specificity of the relation between two types of stressful life events, separations and conflicts, and psychological symptomatology in children. It was hypothesized that separation events would have a specific effect on depressive symptomatology, whereas conflict events would have a specific effect on symptoms of conduct disorder. The hypotheses were tested on a sample of 359 children, ages 8 through 16, consisting of children who had experienced parental death, parental divorce, or asthma, and a comparison group who had not experienced a major stressful event. Multivariate regression analyses indicated partial support for a specificity model of the effects of stress events. Strongest support for the specificity model of the effects of stressors came from the children who experienced parental death.
