Abstract:
In order to examine the lagged relationship between daily events and somatic symptoms, 48 students completed the Students Assessment of Daily Experience Questionnaire and the Somatic Symptoms subscale of the General Health Questionnaire for five days. Undesirable events were correlated with somatic symptoms three to four days later.
