Relationships among major life events, perceived social support, and psychological disorder were assessed in a sample of older adolescents.

Further, the relationship between negative events and disorder was moderated by gender, the types of events experienced, and anticipated change in the psychosocial environment. The importance of the use of standardized and psychometrically sound measures of life events, social support, and psychological disorder is highlighted.
