Daily Stress Reactivity Across the Life span: Longitudinal and Cross-Sectional Effects of Age.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Exploration of development requires the use of research designs and process-oriented methodologies that can capture daily fluctuations within individuals, systematic changes within individuals, and differences between individuals. We examine the stress-affect relationship in this way to assess how the relationship between daily stress and negative affect (NA) as well as the relationship between daily stress and positive affect (PA) differs between individuals and changes over time depending on age and stress differences.

Method

Participants (N = 966) completed daily "burst" assessments of stress, NA, and PA. Three-level multilevel models depicted how cross-sectional age, within-person age changes, and global stress differences impact the daily stress-affect relatio
