| Abstract: | ![]()
Daily life events of 79 married men (average age 43.2 yrs) were grouped according to their life content area and according to the desirability of the event as rated by the S. Associations among event groupings and concurrently measured daily mood were examined. As in studies of major life events, some event classifications were more strongly associated with mood than were others. Specifically, desirable family-leisure events and undesirable work events were strongly related to mood. It is suggested that particular life areas deserve special attention in understanding environmental stress. (11 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
