Abstract

The number of stressful events experienced and the personal and environmental resistance resources associated with the control of stress were examined for 186 rural Nevada residents aged 60 and over. Ten variables having significant statistical associations with stress scores (including number of stressful events experienced) were used in a regression analysis. All 10 variables were included in the full regression model and explained nearly 44% of the variance in stress scores. In the regression model, the two variables significantly associated with perceived stress scores were scores for the avoidance coping sty/e and satisfaction with family life.
