The Effects of Temporal Separation on the Relations between Self-Reported Work Stressors and Strains
检验了纵向设计会降低工作压力源与压力反应之间关系强度的假设，发现时间分离主要削弱了角色模糊与态度性压力反应的相关性，但对角色冲突及健康相关压力反应影响不大。
The assumption that a longitudinal design reduces the size of the relationships between work stressors and strains was tested. A comparison of cross-sectional and longitudinal correlations suggested that temporal separation of stressors and strains reduced correlations between role ambiguity and primarily attitudinal strains. Cross-sectional correlations between role conflict and strains, as well as correlations involving health-related strains, were practically unaffected by switching to a longitudinal design. A theory-driven approach to the adoption of temporal separation of stressor and strain measures in organizational stress research is outlined.
