摘要
This study examined whether positive and negative social ties moderate the effects of negative daily events on psychological distress of 110 community-dwelling elders age 60 89. In accord with the stress-buffering hypothesis, the effect of negative daily events on psychological distress significantly (p <.05) decreased as positive social ties increased. Contrary to the stress-amplifying hypothesis, negative social ties did not interact with negative daily events to influence psychological distress, but instead, had a significant (p <.01) additive effect on it. © 1990 The Gerontological Society of America.
