日常压力研究的一个中心目标是确定与日常压力源的暴露和反应相关的弹性和脆弱性因素。本研究探讨了年龄差异和全球的压力感知与日常压力源的暴露和情绪反应。67名年轻人（M-年龄= 20）和116名老年人（M-年龄= 80）在14天的时间内完成了每日压力日记和6天的积极和消极影响的措施。参与者还完成了一项全球感知压力的测量。结果显示，报告暴露于日常压力源减少老年人，但情绪反应日常压力源之间没有不同的年轻人和老年人。整体感知压力与老年人更大的日常压力源暴露相关，而与年轻人更大的压力相关的负面影响增加相关。此外，在报告日常压力源的日子里，个体内压力源的数量和严重程度的变化与负面影响的增加有关，但仅在年轻人中。
A central goal of daily stress research is to identify resilience and vulnerability factors associated with exposure and reactivity to daily stressors. The present study examined how age differences and global perceptions of stress relate to exposure and emotional reactivity to daily stressors. Sixty-seven younger (M-age = 20) and 116 older (M-age = 80) adults completed a daily stress diary and measures of positive and negative affect on 6 days over a 14-day period. Participants also completed a measure of global perceived stress. Results revealed that reported exposure to daily stressors is reduced in old age but that emotional reactivity to daily stressors did not differ between younger and older adults. Global perceived stress was associated with greater reported exposure to daily stressors in older adults and greater stress-related increases in negative affect in younger adults. Furthermore, across days on which daily stressors were reported, intraindividual variability in the number and severity of stressors reported was associated with increased negative affect, but only among younger adults.
