Daily stress can have negative effects on an individual's health, both physically and emotionally. However, recent research led by David Almeida, a professor of human development and family studies at Penn State, shows that as people age, the number and intensity of daily stressors decrease. These f
Stress is the body’s response to a perceived threat or challenge. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including work, relationships, financial problems, and health concerns.
“There’s something about growing old that leads to fewer stressors,” said Almeida. “This could be the types of social roles that we fill as we age. As younger people, we may be juggling more, including jobs, families, and homes, all of which create instances of daily stress. But as we age, our social roles and motivations change. Older people talk about wanting to maximize and enjoy the time they have.
In addition to the decrease in the number of daily stressors reported, Almeida and the research team also found that as people age, they are less emotionally reactive to daily stressors when they do happen. With this finding, Almeida is looking forward to the next round of data collection for MIDUS, which will be the first since thepandemic began in early 2020. This new round of data collection will allow Almeida and his team to assess the impact of the pandemic on daily stress reactivity.
“At the end of the next post-pandemic data collection in a couple of years, I’ll be in my early 60s, and when I started this project, I was in my late 20s,” he continued. “My own development has occurred during this study of midlife, and it has been enlightening to watch these findings play out in my own life.”
