health-related activities. No gender effects in participation or quantify of information
obtained. |
| (Ong & Allaire,
2005) |
Moderational impact of positive emotion on the link between negative
emotion and subsequent cardiovascular activation. Social connectedness a major contributor to
positive emotion. |

naturalistic setting. Days with stressful events corresponded to occurrence of memory failures. |

The daily lives of a sample of elderly widows measured using
experience sampling method were found to be a valid and reliable method. |

generally, except among those experiencing a major depressive episode. |
