In 1981, Leonard Pearlin and his colleagues published an article
that would ra- cally shift the sociological study of mental health
from an emphasis on psychiatric disorder to a focus on social
structure and its consequences for stress and psyc- logical
distress. Pearlin et al. (1981) proposed a deceptively simple
conceptual model that has now influenced sociological inquiry for
almost three decades. With his characteristic penchant for
reconsidering and elaborating his own ideas, Pearlin has revisited
the stress process model periodically over the years (Pearlin 1989,
1999; Pearlin et al. 2005; Pearlin and Skaff 1996). One of the
consequences of this continued theoretical elaboration of the
stress process has been the development of a sociological model of
stress that embraces the complexity of social life. Another
consequence is that the stress process has continued to stimulate a
host of empirical investigations in the sociology of mental health.
Indeed, it is no exaggeration to suggest that the stress process
paradigm has been primarily responsible for the growth and
sustenance of sociological research on stress and mental health.
Pearlin et al. (1981) described the core elements of the stress
process in a brief paragraph: The process of social stress can be
seen as combining three major conceptual domains: the sources of
stress, the mediators of stress, and the manifestations of stress.
Each of these extended domains subsumes a variety of subparts that
have been intensively studied in recent years.
