Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
N=188 older adults will visit the study's central laboratory for a baseline visit and complete several days of daily experience sampling before being randomized into one of the two 8-week stress management programs. Participants will complete several days of daily experience sampling at the midpoint and conclusion of the intervention before returning to a study site to complete a follow-up assessment at both 1-week and 3-months after the end of the program.
This project will provide important information about how each training program can be used to promote well-being, health, and better social functioning in older adults. This work will ultimately inform the design of more efficacious and efficient stress-management interventions to facilitate healthy aging.
