The stressfulness of retirement both as a transitional event experienced during the past year and as a life stage was investigated. Transitional stress was assessed using a life events approach, and stage stress using a "hassles" approach. Respondents were 1,516 male participants in the Normative Aging Study, 45% of whom were retired. Among those retiring in the past year, respondents' own and spouse's retirement were rated the least stressful from a list of 31 possible events. Only 30% found retirement stressful. Retirement hassles were also less frequently reported and were rated less stressful than the work hassles of men still in the labor force. The only consistent predictors of both transitional and stage retirement stress were poor health and family finances; personality did not predict retirement stress.
研究了退休作为过去一年经历的过渡事件以及作为一个生活阶段的压力程度。使用生活事件方法评估过渡压力，使用“烦恼”方法评估阶段压力。受访者是规范衰老研究中的1516名男性参与者，其中45%已退休。在过去一年退休的人中，受访者自己和配偶的退休在31个可能事件的列表中被评为压力最小的。只有30%的人认为退休有压力。与仍在劳动力队伍中的男性的工作烦恼相比，退休烦恼的报告频率也较低，压力评级也较低。过渡性和阶段性退休压力的唯一一致预测因素是健康状况不佳和家庭财务状况；个性并不能预测退休压力。
