“…WITHIN-DAY STRESSOR PILE-UP IN OLD AND VERY OLD AGE session and a 7-day ambulatory assessment. All of the young-old and 32 of the very old adults were followed-up from the Interdisciplinary Longitudinal Study of Adult Development (ILSE), an ongoing multidisciplinary longitudinal study that consists of four waves of data collection in the German cities of Leipzig and Heidelberg, covering 20 years of observation (for detailed information about the parent sample, see Sattler et al, 2017). To increase statistical power, we recruited 15 additional very old participants from the community via newspaper ads.…”

Over the past decade, many studies have reported individual differences in negative emotional reactions to daily stressful events. However, whether and how individual and age-related differences in emotional reactivity also depend on the temporal characteristics of stressors has received little attention. In this project, we focused on the temporal characteristics of stressor occurrence and examined the pile-up of stressors within a day-referring to multiple stressors encountered within a relatively narrow time window. To do so, we used data from 123 young-old (66-69 years, 47% women) and 47 very old adults (84-90 years, 60% women). Participants reported their momentary feelings and exposure to stressors six times a day over 7 consecutive days in their everyday life. Emotional reactivity to stressor pile-up over the day followed an exponential decay trajectory, with higher stressor burden in close proximity to the stressor occurrence. The exact shape of the decay trajectory differed among participants. Most importantly, both stressor pile-up and ongoing stress predicted greater emotional reactivity. We also found interaction effects of stressor pile-up and current stressor occurrence in that increases in negative affect under ongoing stress were stronger when stressors had piled-up before. No evidence was found for increased vulnerability to stressor pile-up in very old adults; rather, the impact of preceding stressors attenuated faster for individuals in this age group. The findings highlight the utility of comprehensively studying how stressor characteristics such as their pile-up within short time periods shape emotional reactivity.

“…The first wave of data collection was conducted in 1993-1996 (T1), followed by three subsequent measurement waves, conducted in 1997-2000 (T2), 2005-2007 (T3), and 2014 -2016 (T4), respectively. Detailed descriptions of participants, variables, and procedures can be found in Sattler et al (2017). The study was carried out in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (September 1989) This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.…”

Previous research documented positive associations between cognitively stimulating work and levels of cognitive performance, while longitudinal associations are less clear. We used 20-year longitudinal data from the Interdisciplinary Longitudinal Study of Adult Development and Aging (ILSE) to examine the role of perceived work environment (autonomy, innovation, social integration, and stress) and work activities derived from an occupational database (related to information, to people, and manual activities) for trajectories of cognitive abilities (processing speed, fluid and crystallized intelligence). We used data from 374 participants in the ILSE midlife cohort (born 1950 -52) who were working at baseline and had valid observations on work characteristics and control variables including education, gender, region (former East vs. West Germany), and personal income (mean age at baseline ϭ 44 years, SD ϭ 1, 44% women). Cognitively stimulating perceived work environments (higher levels of autonomy and innovation), higher levels of work activities related to information and people, and lower levels of manual activity at baseline were related to higher initial levels of cognitive ability. Higher work stress was related to higher baseline fluid ability. These associations were largely not independent of control variables. Higher social integration at work was related to less steep increase in crystallized intelligence and higher work stress was related to less decline in processing speed. In sum, our findings were more in line with selection rather than with enrichment effects, with the caveat that our findings rely on work variables taken at baseline. We discuss potential mechanisms underlying these findings.

“…Examination of cohort differences was facilitated by merging data from the BASE, ILSE, and BASE-II studies. Descriptions of participants, variables, and procedures for each study are reported in previous publications (BASE: Baltes & Mayer, 1999; Lindenberger, Smith, Mayer, & Baltes, 2010; ILSE: Sattler et al, 2017; BASE-II: Bertram et al, 2014; Gerstorf et al, 2016). Ethics approval for BASE was granted by the Berlin Medical Association, for ILSE by the ethics committee of the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg, and for BASE-II by the ethics committees of the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin.…”
