“…The diary consisted of 39 items, many of which were derived from the Diary of Ambulatory Behavioral States (Kamarck et al, 1998). The current study examined items assessing location and affect at the time that the diary entry was prompted, environmental demands and perceived control in the 10 min prior to the entry, and the nature of the current or most recent social interaction.…”

The current study used ecological momentary assessment to test several tenets of the reserve capacity model (L.C. Gallo & K. A. Matthews, 2003). Women (N = 108) with varying socioeconomic status (SES) monitored positive and negative psychosocial experiences and emotions across 2 days. Measures of intrapsychic and social resources were aggregated to represent the reserve capacity available to manage stress. Lower SES was associated with less perceived control and positive affect and more social strain. Control and strain contributed to the association between SES and positive affect. Lower SES elicited greater positive but not negative emotional reactivity to psychosocial experiences. Women with low SES had fewer resources relative to those with higher SES, and resources contributed to the association between SES and daily experiences.

Shallow declines in nocturnal compared with diurnal blood pressure (BP dipping) have been associated with cardiovascular disease. In U.S. samples, Blacks demonstrate less BP dipping compared with Whites. In a sample of 60 Black and 60 White normotensive adults we examined stress, social integration (including parental status), social support, and hostility as potential mediators of the association between race and BP dipping. The effect of race on diastolic BP dipping was partially mediated by parental status. The effect of race on heart rate dipping was partially mediated by stressful life events. No psychosocial factors mediated the relation between race and systolic BP dipping. Although psychosocial factors appear to account for some of the observed racial differences in nocturnal blood pressure decline, our data suggest that these differences cannot be attributed entirely to covarying psychosocial effects.

“…Most relevant to the present study, approximately 1 month after the initial visit, participants were trained to use an automated ABP monitor (Accutracker DX; SunTech Medical, Raleigh, North Carolina) and a self-report electronic diary (Palm Pilot Professional; Palm, Inc., Santa Clara, California). This was followed by a 3-day ambulatory monitoring period and four visits associated with a second 3-day ambulatory monitoring period 4 months later (32). A 6-year follow-up consisted of six visits, completed from February 2005 to July 2006, including one medical history visit and three visits related to a third 3-day period of ambulatory monitoring.…”

“…After each ABP assessment, an electronic diary (Palm Pilot Professional) administered a 45-item self-report questionnaire adapted from the Diary of Ambulatory Behavioral States (DABS) (32). Questionnaire ratings were time stamped (using software from Invivodata, Inc., Scotts Valley, California) to monitor compliance.…”

Objective: Aging is theoretically accompanied by emotional gains, but physiological self-regulatory losses. Emotional and physiological regulation can be operationalized as the extent of an increase in negative affect and blood pressure upon experiencing a stressor (i.e., reactivity). The direction of age-based changes in negative affect reactivity to stressors is uncertain. In addition, evidence for age-based increases in blood pressure reactivity to stressors is based largely on age-based differences observed in cross-sectional and laboratory-based studies. The present study is the first to examine long-term longitudinal changes in stress-related reactivity for both blood pressure and negative affect in the natural environment. Methods: A total of 375 healthy adults aged 50 to 70 years completed 6 days of hourly ambulatory blood pressure assessment and electronic diary reports of social conflict and task demand and control. Two hundred fifty-five participants repeated 3 days of assessment in a 6-year follow-up. With reactivity operationalized as the change in an outcome in association with momentary social conflict, task strain, or task demand (i.e., a model-derived slope parameter), multilevel models were used to assess aging-based change in blood pressure and negative affect reactivity over the course of the 6-year follow-up. Results: Aging is associated with increased diastolic blood pressure reactivity to social conflict and task demand (β social_conflict = 0.48, p = .007; β task_demand = 0.19, p = .005), increases in negative affect reactivity to social conflict and task strain (β social_conflict = 0.10, p < .001; β task_strain = 0.08, p = .016), and increases in systolic blood pressure reactivity to task-based stress (β task_strain = 1.29, p = .007; β task_demand = 0.23 p = .032). Conclusion: Findings suggest age-based increases in affective and cardiovascular reactivity to natural stressors.
