We examined whether longitudinal patterns of hassles and uplifts trajectories predicted mortality, using a sample of 1315 men from the VA Normative Aging Study (mean age = 65.31, SD = 7.6). In prior work, we identified different trajectory classes of hassles and uplifts exposure and intensity scores over a period...

We investigated whether hassles mediated the effect of life events on mortality in a sample of 1293 men (M[subscript age] = 65.58, SD = 7.01), participants in the VA Normative Aging Study. We utilized measures of stressful life events
(SLE) and hassles from 1989 to 2004, and men were followed...
To examine emotion regulation in later life, we contrasted the modified hedonic treadmill theory with developmental theories, using hassles and uplifts to assess emotion regulation in context. The sample was 1,315 men from the VA Normative Aging Study aged 53 to 85 years, who completed 3,894 observations between 1989 and...
