bin the 1960s, medical researchers thomas holmes and richard rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. they appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. bad events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some helpful life changing events like marriage. when you take the holmes rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress — it only shows how much you have to deal with. and we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically（戏剧性地） affects your chances of staying healthy. by the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed holmes and rahe. and millions of americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. women’s magazines ran titles like "stress causes illness".
