| Abstract | The Psychological Distress Inventory (PDI) has been shown to discriminate between college students seeking help in the college counseling center from non-help seekers, between depressed and non-depressed students, and between students' global self-appraisals of high versus low stress. A study was conducted to investigate concurrent validity for the PDI by exploring the inventory's ability to discriminate among college students with respect to their level of support, attitudes toward the opposite sex, and career indecision. Subjects, one-half of whom were experiencing high levels of life stress and one-half of whom were experiencing low levels of life stress, were 88 male and 88 female college students. Subjects completed the PDI, and the Attitudes toward Women, Attitudes toward Men, Social Support, Career Indecision, and Certainty of Major scales. The results indicated that high stress was associated with high social support. Other findings suggest that high stress interferes with vocational exploration and certainty regarding one's tentatively chosen field of study. The present results offer some validity of the PDI. Attitudes toward men and women, however, seemed relatively free from bias resulting from life stress. Additionally, analysis of the Attitudes toward men subscores suggests that they may assess somewhat stereotypic sex role patterns. (NB) |
