Abstract: In a sample of N=66 youth self-reporting momentary stress and affect over a 4-day ecological momentary assessment protocol, we found greater perceived stressor severity significantly correlated with more negative affect. We also found that greater perceived stressor severity and more negative affect were significantly correlated with more psychological symptoms.
