Abstract
The association between life events and psychological distress was found to be mediated by attitudes towards emotional expression for those with low s ocial support bur not for chose with high social support. Passive interpers onal behaviour significantly accounted for additional variance in psycholog ical distress to that accounted for by life events and attitudes.
