TL;DR

Significant but low correlations were found between life experience scores and somatic symptoms and energy level and Hassles scores were significant predictors of overall health status when the effects due to life experiences were controlled.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to replicate previous research, which explored the relationship between hassles, uplifts, life experiences, and somatic health. Significant but low correlations were found between life experience scores and somatic symptoms and energy level. Hassles scores were significant predictors of overall health status when the effects due to life experiences were controlled. Implications of the findings for the field of behavioral health are discussed.
