我们应对日常生活压力的方式对我们的身体健康有很大的影响。研究人员已经记录了对日常压力源的初始情绪反应对未来身体健康结果的有害影响，但尚未研究压力源发生后挥之不去的情绪影响。目前的研究调查了轻微压力发生后第二天的负面影响如何与健康相关的结果相关。在一项以社区为基础的全国性研究中，参与者（N = 1，155）回答了有关连续8天的日常压力和影响以及近10年后身体健康的问题。多水平模型表明，人们在压力源发生后的第二天会经历更高水平的负面影响。此外，更高水平的挥之不去的负面影响与10年后更多的慢性疾病和更严重的功能限制有关。研究结果表明，从日常压力中恢复情感对长期身体健康具有独特的重要性。
The way we respond to life's daily stressors has strong implications for our physical health. Researchers have documented the detrimental effects of initial emotional reactivity to daily stressors on future physical health outcomes but have yet to examine the effects of emotions that linger after a stressor occurs. The current study investigated how negative affect that lingers the day after a minor stressor occurs is associated with health-related outcomes. Participants (N = 1,155) in a community-based, nationwide study answered questions about daily stressors and affect across 8 consecutive days and about their physical health almost 10 years later. Multilevel models indicated that people experience heightened levels of negative affect the day after a stressor occurs. Furthermore, higher levels of lingering negative affect are associated with greater numbers of chronic conditions and worse functional limitations 10 years later. Findings suggest that affective recovery from daily stressors has unique importance for long-term physical health.
