Psychological Responses to Stress

Prolonged exposure to stressors can disturb emotional balance, increasing negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and sadness) and diminishing positive emotions (e.g., joy and satisfaction). These persistent emotional shifts are associated with an increased risk of both physical illness and mental health issues, such...

Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Gerontology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Negative affect (NA) and daily stressors are significant factors in overall well-being.
  • Understanding age-related differences in stress response is crucial for targeted interventions.
  • Previous research has not fully elucidated how various daily stressors uniquely impact NA across different age groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate age differences in the relationship between daily stressors (interpersonal, health, financial, perceived stress) and negative affect (NA).
  • To examine how these relationships vary across different age cohorts.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 56 days of daily diary data from the Notre Dame Study of Health & Well-being.
  • Employed multi-level modeling to analyze within-person stress-NA relationships and cross-level age interactions.
  • Assessed interpersonal, health, financial stressors, and perceived stress as predictors of daily NA.

Main Results:

  • All types of daily stress were additively related to increased daily NA.
  • Older adults showed an exacerbated relationship between daily interpersonal stressors and NA.
  • Older adults exhibited a weaker relationship between daily perceived stress and NA compared to younger adults.

Conclusions:

  • Age significantly moderates the impact of specific daily stressors on negative affect.
  • Interventions should consider age-specific strategies: reducing social overcommitment for older adults and promoting stress-disrupting activities for younger adults.
  • Findings highlight the need for tailored approaches to managing daily stress and enhancing well-being across the lifespan.
