Abstract

In three previous papers, we have investigated separately the mathematical relationships between disease severity in women with breast problems and the occurrence of stressful life events (Cooper et al. 1989), personality (Faragher & Cooper, 1990) and strategies used by individual women to cope with a stressful situation (Cooper & Faragher, 1992). Statistically significant relationships of varying strengths were found in all three instances. Factor analyses of each dimension identified a small number of dominant psychosocial entities apparently related to diagnosis in this group of women. This paper examines the correlations between these psychosocial factors in an attempt to elucidate further the process linking them to breast disease severity.
