The Role of Stressful Events in the Relationship Between Positive and Negative Affects: Evidence From Field and Experimental Studies

Abstract: Three studies are presented that examine the effects of stress on the relationship between positive and negative affective states. In the first study, recently bereaved and disabled older adults were compared to matched control groups without these recent stressors. Negative affect was inversely correlated with positive affect to a significantly greater extent for the highly stressed groups compared with controls. In a second study, older adults were exposed to a laboratory stressor, and their positive and neg… Show more

“…Reich, Zautra, and Davis (2003) reviewed a number of studies showing that positive affect, when present during times of stress, appear maximally effective at strengthening resistance. The finding that positive affect reduces vulnerability to stress has now been documented in different laboratory and field studies (e.g., Zautra, Reich, Davis, Potter, & Nicolson, 2000), under different stressful contexts (Ong, Bergeman, Bisconti, & Wallace, 2006;Zautra et al, 2005), and with different indices of health and well-being (e.g., Davis, Zautra, & Smith, 2004;Ong & Allaire, 2005). …”

“…En cambio, en situaciones de baja presión de afrontamiento y especialmente en situaciones de buen funcionamiento del individuo el uso de un procesamiento más complejo que permita la valoración de ambos tipo de afecto de forma separada e independiente favorece una mejor adaptación. El modelo cuenta ya con apoyo empírico (Zau tra, Potter & Reich, 1997;Zautra, Reich, Davis, Nicolson & Potter, 2000).…”

“…Unlike Feldman, who used a within-subjects design, we will employ a between-subjects design in which the structure of affect is examined in contrasted groups (cf. Bagozzi, Wong, & Yi, 1999;Reich, Zautra, & Potter, 2001;Zautra, Reich, Davis, Potter, & Nicolson, 2000). These groups are hypothesized to differ in the way in which their members differentiate among emotional states, so the group analyses indirectly reflect the processing of affective information in individuals.…”
