Document Summary
Leonard pearlin opened his classic paper the sociological study of experiences that stem from these arrangements. Sociologists have an intellectual stake in the study of stress. It presents an excellent opportunity to observe how deeply well-being is affected by the structured arrangements of people s lives and by the repeated. Social research into stress is consistent with a present-day social psychology that seeks to establish the unities between social structure and the inner functioning of individuals. Pearlin was the first to capture why sociologists should have a stake in this. It s not random things happening to random people, it s about the repeated systematic patterned experiences. Pearlin on what makes the study of stress sociological: Many stressful experiences don t spring out of a vacuum but typically can be traced back to surrounding social structures and people s locations within them.
