 DeLongis et al (1982) Aim | - compared daily hassles scale to life events scale to see which was a better predictor of later health problems |
| DeLongis et al (1982) Method | - got 100 Americans to fill in 4 questionnaires every month: daily hassles, uplifts, life events and health (including tiredness) |
| DeLongis et al (1982) Results | - found a relationship between hassles and health; more hassles = less healthy. uplifts had minimal effect. - life events didn't affect on month-to-month scale, can only see difference if you look at long term/larger scale |
| DeLongis et al (1982) Evaluation | + longitudinal; avoids snapshot effect, no danger of getting bad week by chance, more representative technique etc + highly controlled, same questions for all - not generalisable to others, all participants fairly rich so would have diff hassles and lifestyles to others - self report is unreliable; may underreport or over-exaggerate |
| DeLongis et al (1998) | - looked at daily stress amoung 75 married couples - did 20 assessments over 6 months (longitudinal) - looked at somatic and psychological effects - daily hassles lead to health problems - negative effects on mood only last a day - more affected with poor social support and low self esteem |
| DeLongis et al (1998) Evaluation | + longitudinal, 6 month period, avoid unrepresentative snapshot - not generalisable, may not apply to singles - self report, unreliable/unscientific |
