“…However, the possibility of collecting data over several days permits robust estimates of the cardiovascular concomitants of work to be obtained. There is evidence that people may alter their activities during days of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, reducing energy expenditure and levels of social involvement (Blanchard, Cornish, Wittrock, & Jaccard, 1990;Costa et al, 1999). This effect may reduce the ecologic valid-ity of ambulatory monitoring techniques.…”

This study assessed the influence of work social support on self-monitored heart rate, blood pressure, and salivary cortisol recorded on 3 work days and 2 leisure days from 61 nurses and 32 accountants (40 men, 53 women). Heart rate and blood pressure were higher during the day at work than in the evening or on leisure days. Cortisol was higher on leisure than work days and was lower in the evening than in the day. Low social support at work was associated with elevated heart rate during the daytime and evening of work days, an effect that persisted after controlling for psychological distress, age, sex, smoking, and physical activity. Work social support was not related to cortisol on work days, but on leisure days cortisol was elevated among individuals reporting high social support. There were few differences between men and women, and no important occupational effects.

“…There is no reason to expect, however, that self-focused attention would differ by these health status variables. Second, because we assessed mood and social interactions at fixed intervals (i.e., every 30 minutes) rather than randomly, some participants might have planned their daily activities so that they would avoid potentially embarrassing social interactions at the time of a blood pressure reading (Blanchard, Cornish, Wittrock, & Jaccard, 1990). The blood pressure monitor could be worn unobtrusively because the inflation of the blood pressure cuff was not audible and the monitor could be concealed by a jacket.…”

This study examined the association of dispositional self-focused attention to mood rated at the time of a negative social interaction in 100 employed, middle-age adults using experience sampling methodology. Results revealed that a self-focusing style was associated with higher negative mood and lower positive mood at the time of a negative social interaction during 3 days of everyday activities. Women who were chronically self-focused were particularly vulnerable to these negative social interactions in the daily environment; they were more likely than men to report lower positive mood during the interaction. In addition, 30 minutes after the negative social interaction, self-focused individuals with higher preexisting levels of depressive symptoms continued to report higher levels of negative mood and lower levels of positive mood relative to individuals who were not self-focused and did not report higher depressive symptoms. These results provide support for the role of self-focused attention in the etiology and maintenance of negative moods.

“…One is that within-subject relations among variables cannot be determined with adequate power. Another is that individuals may be unable to accurately recall major events (Monroe, 1982;Yager, Grant, Sweetwood, & Gerst, 1981) or daily experiences (Blanchard, Cornish, Wittrock, & Jaccard, 1990) over extended periods, and there may in fact be systematic bias in the recall of everyday experiences due to implicit hypotheses people hold about the stability or change of these experiences (Neisser, 1991 ;Ross, 1989). Personality researchers face a particularly thorny problem when these sources of systematic bias are related to the individual differences under study.…”

This special issue of the Journal of Personality is devoted to personality and daily experience. Through historical analysis of the daily event literature, empirical inquiry, and methodological and statistical commentary, the contributors to this issue convey both the possibilities and the problems of studying everyday life. These articles demonstrate how people's dispositions, goals, and commitments can influence daily emotional well‐being and health, their inner experience, their reactions to events, and perhaps even which events they encounter. The introduction of personality to the study of daily experience holds the promise of enriching our studies of both.
