Daily Stress Dynamics and Depression across Adulthood: A Lifespan Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

This mixed-method, multi-phase study examines age-related differences in daily stress exposure, appraisal, emotional reactivity, and recovery. Three hundred adults will complete interviews, a 14-day ecological momentary assessment, and a three-month follow-up. Multilevel and dynamic models will identify stress–emotion dynamics and short-term markers predicting later depressive risk across adulthood.
