“…Consistent with a conservation model of stress (Hobfoll, 1989), high stressor diversity theoretically functions as a resource that confers differential well-being (Koffer et al, 2016). Following techniques used in the natural sciences to assess the biodiversity of ecosystems (Magurran, 2004; Morin, 1999), researchers have used measures of diversity to assess a variety of social and psychological phenomena, including racial and ethnic diversity (Budescu & Budescu, 2012), behavioral flexibility (Ram et al, 2012), population genetics (Sherwin, 2010), community social networks (Li et al, 2015), emotional diversity (Ong et al, 2018; Quoidbach et al, 2014; Urban-Wojcik et al, 2022), and activity diversity (Lee et al, 2018, 2022).…”
