Strength and Vulnerability Integration (SAVI): A Model of Emotional Well-Being Across Adulthood (2010, unknown): “For example, in a study in which adults ranging from 25 to 74 years old were queried nightly about the number of minor, but negative, stressors that occurred throughout the course of their day, older age was related to fewer daily stressors (Almeida & Horn, 2004).”
A lifespan perspective on emotion regulation, stress, and well-being in the workplace (2013, background): “These age-related patterns of changing demands and roles across life have led to the hypothesis that daily life is particularly stressful during midlife, which may explain age differences in occupational stress (Almeida & Horn, 2004; Warr, 1992).”
Development in midlife. (2004, background): “Almeida & Horn (2004) used daily diaries over a one-week period to examine whether midlife is more stressful than other age periods, and found that both the young and midlife groups had more stressor days and more days with multiple stresses than the older adults.”
Age differences in instability, contingency, and level of self-esteem across the life span (2011, unknown): “…emotionally negative information toward positive information (LabouvieVief, 2003; Mather & Carstensen, 2003), are better able to transform a conflict into a life lesson (Diehl, Coyle, & Labouvie-Vief, 1996, see also John & Gross, 2004), and appraise stressors as less severe (Almeida & Horn, 2004).”
Emotional Experience Improves With Age: Evidence Based on Over 10 Years of Experience Sampling (2011, background): “…processes (Frederick & Loewenstein, 1999) or agerelated changes in life contexts and social roles (e.g., retirement, empty nest), making daily life more stable and predictable and easier to regulate emotionally for older adults (Almeida & Horn, 2004; Brown & Moskowitz, 1998; Roecke et al., 2009).”
