The present study explores differences in daily stress across individuals of varying ages. Specifically, we explore whether age group (young adult, midlife, late midlife, later life) relates to differences in types of stress (family, friends, partner, health, finances, work), total stress exposure, and perceptions of daily stress intensity. Participants from the Notre Dame Study of Health & Well-being (NDHWB; = 891) completed daily questionnaires assessing negative small life events and perceived stress for 8 weeks. Findings indicated that young adults reported a higher average number of family, spouse, finance, and work-related stress. Additionally, total daily stress was highest among young adults, and perceived stress was lowest among later life adults. Because daily stress relates to long-term mental and physical stress, gaining a better understanding of how individuals at different points in the life span uniquely experience stress can inform intervention and preventative care techniques aimed at promoting optimal well-being.
本研究探讨了不同年龄段个体日常压力的差异。具体而言，我们探讨了年龄组（青年期、中年期、中老年期、老年期）是否与压力类型（家庭、朋友、伴侣、健康、财务、工作）、总压力暴露以及对日常压力强度的感知有关。来自圣母大学健康与幸福感研究（NDHWB；n = 891）的参与者完成了为期 8 周的日常问卷，评估负面小生活事件和感知压力。研究结果表明，年轻人报告了更高的家庭、配偶、财务和与工作相关的压力数量。此外，年轻人的日常总压力最高，而晚年成年人的感知压力最低。由于日常压力与长期的心理和身体压力有关，因此更好地了解不同年龄段的个体如何独特地体验压力，可以为促进最佳健康的干预和预防保健技术提供信息。
