The theoretical model in this study is developed within the framework of social causation model of mental disorders. That is, social status and life events are treated as antecedent factors and family relationships and friendship ties as intermediate factors that affect the prevalence of psychological distress.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The theoretical model in this study is developed within the framework of social causation model of mental disorders. That is, social status and life events are treated as antecedent factors and family relationships and friendship ties as intermediate factors that affect the prevalence of psychological distress.
520 $a The data were collected in Shanghai, China 1983 through a collaborative project sponsored by the Pacific/Asian American Mental Research Center of the University of Illinois at Chicago, the Shanghai Psychiatric Hospital, and the Shanghai Institute of Mental Health. The survey instrument included the Psychiatric Epidemiology Research Interview (PERI) demoralization scale and Diagnostic Interview Scheme Version III (DIS-III) and was administered to a random sample of 3098 Shanghai residents.
520 $a The findings of this research suggest that while conventional socio-economic status factors are positively associated with closeness of some personal ties, the associations are not linear in this population. Second, it was found that social status variables have little effect on psychological distress. Third, the quality of personal ties is effective in reducing psychological distress. Particularly strong is the effect of the quality of communication between spouses. Closeness to parents during adolescence and closeness to friends were also found to be effective in reducing psychological distress. Fourth, exposure to stress associated with work is the strongest predictor of psychological distress. Fifth, gender affects the associations between social ties and psychological distress. That is, for women, closeness of personal ties reduces psychological distress but not for men.
520 $a Several theoretical accounts are proposed in interpreting the results of this study and suggested for future research. It is suggested that the meanings of social status as they impact mental health should be re-conceptualized, putting more emphasis on the distribution of power in interpersonal relationships. Particularly important in cross-cultural approaches, intervening processes that bridge socio-economic status and psychological well-being should be more specifically modeled. Social support and stress should also be dealt with within the meaning system of the local culture. By systematically examining the meanings of social experiences in the micro setting better models predicting psychological distress should be established.
