本研究旨在复制和扩展的压力过程的研究，通过检查压力，社会支持，体育锻炼，抑郁症状之间的关系，提供的数据，最近在日本的老年人全国范围内的调查。研究结果表明，更频繁的体育锻炼与更少的心理困扰有关。此外，数据表明，一些（但不是所有）类型的压力往往会减少身体活动的频率。最后，也许也是最重要的，研究结果表明，社会支持往往会促进更频繁的锻炼。这可能以两种方式发生。首先，更多的情感支持与更好的运动习惯有关。此外，消极的互动也与更频繁的锻炼有关，这表明非正式的社会制裁可以促进积极的健康行为。
This study seeks to replicate and extend research on the stress process by examining the relationships among stress, social support, physical exercise, and depressive symptoms with data provided by a recent nationwide survey of older adults in Japan. The findings reveal that more frequent physical exercise is associated with less psychological distress. Moreover, the data suggest that some (but not all) types of stressors tend to diminish the frequency of physical activity. Finally, and perhaps most important, the results reveal that social support tends to promote more frequent exercise. This can occur in two ways. First, more emotional support was related to better exercise habits. In addition, negative interaction was also associated with more frequent exercise, suggesting that informal social sanctions can foster positive health behaviors.
