Abstract
The relationship between high degrees of life style changes and personality and mood factors was explored. 262 university students completed the Schedule of Recent Experience, a device quantifying the psychological magnitude of experienced changes in a given time period, the Psychological Screening Inventory and the Profile of Mood States. Scores on the Schedule of Recent Experience had significant positive correlations with Profile of Mood States scores of tension, depression, anger, fatigue, confusion, and total mood disturbance. They also significantly and positively correlated with the Psychological Screening Inventory scores of alienation, social nonconformity, and expression, and negatively with defensiveness. The pattern of personality and mood correlates of scores on the Schedule was consistent with a hypothesis that adverse psychological consequences may result from a great deal of change.
