Abstract (english): Objectives: Age differences in the exposure to minor hassles in daily life have been postulated by socioemotional selectivity theory and reported by previous research, with older adults reporting fewer stressors. The present study examined two potential mechanisms explaining this reduction in reported stressor exposure with advancing age: age-related changes in proactive coping and in the threshold of labeling an event as stressor. Method: Participants (N = 178; 20-79 years; M = 49.5; SD = 17; 51% female) were investigated in a measurement burst study consisting of three measurement bursts (each comprised of five daily assessments for 7 consecutive days), separated by 9 months each. Results: Older age was unrelated to reporting an event or the thresholds for labeling the event as a stressor, but was positively related to self-reported use of proactive coping and negatively related to reported event severity. Discussion: Results are consistent with the view that older adults engage in more proactive coping to deal with minor hassles in their daily lives to manage these problems before they become more stressful. Older adults did not report fewer potentially stressful events but they reported these events as less unpleasant. The adaptive value of proactive coping, in particular for older adults, is discussed.

Abstract: Although it is generally accepted that stress is associated with poorer health and cognitive functioning, previous work has focused on what happens after stressors occur [...]. In this special section, we present a novel conceptual framework and initial empirical work that integrates the temporal space of anticipation before stressors occur. Understanding processes that may prevent exposure to or reduce the effects of stressors can have tremendous benefits for longevity and successful aging. In this overview, we describe our conceptual framework and relevant aging theories that form the foundation for our predictions across studies. We also briefly introduce the data sets and study designs and propose preliminary implications. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Gemäß den theoretischen Konzeptionen von Krohne (1974) werden die zwei Coping-Stile, "Vigilanz" und "kognitive Vermeidung", unterschieden. Es kann zum einen versucht werden, die Bedrohung zu kontrollieren, indem gezielt die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Bedrohungsursache gerichtet wird (Vigilanz). Zum anderen kann die Bedrohung dadurch bewältigt werden, dass die Aufmerksamkeit abgewendet wird, z. B. durch Verdrängung oder Bagatellisierung. Bei den entsprechend konstruierten Items handelt sich um eine Kurzversion der Skalen von Rost, Eigenbrodt, Davier & Senkbeil (1992).(DIPF/Autor)
