Psychological Stress and Coping in Aging.

Lazarus, Richard S.; DeLongis, Anita

American Psychologist, v38 n3 p245-54 Mar 1983

Discusses how the dynamics of stress and coping change with the processes of aging. Suggests that since aging is a highly individualized process, cross-sectional studies of the phenomenon may be inadequate unless supplemented by a longitudinal perspective. (Author/AOS)
