Stress and Adaptation in Later Life.

Palmore, Erdman; And Others

Journal of Gerontology, v34 n6 p841-51 Nov 1979

Effects of major life events, and of types of resources, on the physical and social-psychological adaptation of participants in a longitudinal study were examined. Medical events had the most impact on physical adaptation but had little impact on social-psychological adaptation. Retirement had the most negative social-psychological effects. (Author)
