This study examined age-related patterns in exposure and affective reactivity to daily stressors across a 20-year time span among adults who were between 22 and 77 years old at their baseline interview. Longitudinal data from the National Study of Daily Experiences (NSDE) consisted of three bursts of eight consecutive nightly interviews of stress and affect. Analyses made use of all available data from a U.S. National sample of respondents who participated in any of the three NSDE bursts (N = 2,845; number of daily assessments = 33,688). Findings revealed increasing age-related benefits. Younger adults (< 30 years) reported the highest levels of stressor exposure and reactivity, but their stress profile improved with age. Over time, adults averaged an 11% reduction in the occurrence of stressor days, and the younger adults exhibited an even steeper decline (a 47% reduction) in their levels of stressor reactivity. For people in midlife and old age, stressor occurrence continued to decrease over time, yet among adults aged 54 years or older at baseline, stress reactivity remained stable across time.

成年 20 年间日常压力的纵向变化：来自全国日常经历研究的结果。


这项研究调查了基线访谈时年龄在 22 岁至 77 岁之间的成年人在 20 年时间范围内对日常压力源的暴露和情感反应的年龄相关模式。来自国家日常体验研究 (NSDE) 的纵向数据包括连续八次夜间压力和情感访谈的三组突发数据。分析利用了参与三个 NSDE 爆发中任何一个的美国全国受访者样本的所有可用数据（N = 2,845；每日评估数量 = 33,688）。调查结果显示，与年龄相关的益处不断增加。年轻人（< 30 岁）报告的压力源暴露和反应水平最高，但他们的压力状况随着年龄的增长而改善。随着时间的推移，成年人的压力源天数平均减少 11%，而年轻人的压力源反应水平下降幅度更大（减少 47%）。对于中年和老年人群，压力源的发生率随着时间的推移持续减少，但在基线年龄为 54 岁或以上的成年人中，压力反应性随着时间的推移保持稳定。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
