OBJECTIVES
In order to understand conflicting findings regarding the emotional reactions of older adults to daily stressors, we examined the possibility that negative aging attitudes could function as an important individual differences factor related to stressor reactivity.
METHOD
Using a daily dairy design, we examined the aging attitudes of 43 older adults reporting on 380 total days. Participants reported their aging attitudes on Day 1, followed by their stressor exposure and negative affect on Days 2-9. Covariates included age, gender, education, and personality.
RESULTS
Using multilevel modeling, our results suggest that individuals with more positive aging attitudes report consistent levels of affect across study days regardless of stressors, whereas those with more negative aging attitudes reported increased emotional reactivity to daily stressors.
DISCUSSION
Positive aging attitudes may serve as a resource that helps buffer reactions to daily stressors.
目的
为了理解老年人对日常应激源的情绪反应存在冲突的研究结果，我们研究了消极的老化态度是否可能是与应激源反应性相关的重要个体差异因素。
方法
采用日常生活日记设计，我们对 43 名老年人的老化态度进行了研究，共报告了 380 天的数据。参与者在第 1 天报告了他们的老化态度，然后在第 2-9 天报告了他们的应激源暴露和负性情绪。协变量包括年龄、性别、教育程度和人格。
结果
使用多层次模型，我们的结果表明，无论应激源如何，具有更积极老化态度的个体在研究期间报告的情绪水平都保持一致，而具有更消极老化态度的个体对日常应激源的情绪反应性增加。
讨论
积极的老化态度可能是一种资源，可以帮助缓冲对日常应激源的反应。
