Abstract

Objectives: Stressor appraisals are a transaction between the environment and the individual, such that individuals may appraise a situation as stressful when the problem is greater than the resources available to address it. Stressors appraised as threatening to the way one feels about themselves, their plans for the future, or their own physical health and safety are known to increase negative affect. Appraisal theory frames our predictions regarding the importance of daily contexts and aging processes to understand how stressor appraisals and feelings of aging may be associated with daily affective ratings. We investigated the potential interaction of daily stressors appraisals and daily subjective age on daily negative affect.

Methods: 101 younger adults (aged 18-36, M = 19.4, SD = 2.05) and 73 older adults (aged 60-90, M = 65.2, SD = 4.66) participated in an online 8-day daily diary study.

Results: Our results indicated a significant 2-way interaction between daily stressor appraisals and daily subjective age on daily negative affect, such that on days when participants reported low stress appraisals and younger subjective ages, participants also reported lower negative affect.

Discussion: The dynamic nature of stressor appraisals, in light of daily aging experiences and daily affective ratings, suggests potential benefits and boundaries associated with subjective aging experiences.

每日压力源评估和主观年龄预测每日情感评分。

目标：压力源评估是环境和个人之间的一种交易，当问题大于可用资源来解决它时，个人可能会将情况评估为压力。压力源被评估为威胁到一个人对自己的感觉，他们对未来的计划，或他们自己的身体健康和安全的方式，已知会增加负面影响（Almeida等人，2002）。评估理论（Lazarus, 1999）构建了我们对日常环境和衰老过程的重要性的预测，以理解压力源评估和衰老感觉如何与日常情感评级相关联。研究了日常压力源评价和日常主观年龄对日常消极情绪的潜在相互作用。方法：101名年轻人（18-36岁，M = 19.4, SD = 2.05）和73名老年人（60-90岁，M = 65.2, SD = 4.66）参与了一项为期8天的在线日记研究。结果：我们的研究结果表明，日常压力源评价与日常主观年龄对日常负面影响存在显著的双向交互作用，即在参与者报告低压力评价和年轻主观年龄的日子里，参与者也报告了较低的负面影响。讨论：根据日常衰老经历和日常情感评分，压力源评估的动态性质表明了主观衰老经历的潜在益处和界限。
