摘要：

Are the self-employed more stressed than the employed? Current research on entrepreneur stress are mixed. We utilize the age-adjusted telomere length to test the influence of human capital on self-employment and stress. Data from 3,580 adults in the 1999-2000 and 2001-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were fitted to a theoretical model. Our findings support previous studies showing a positive relationship between self-employment and psychological stress. Moreover, we find that job tenure strengthens this relationship, implying that the self-employed who experience mental stress may find it challenging to recover the longer they have been self-employed.
