Results of Planned Contrasts for Perceived Stress
| Add Health Sample | MIDUS Sample | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contrast 1: UM vs CA | Contrast 2: UM vs CD | Contrast 1: UM vs CA | Contrast 2: UM vs CD | |
| Upwardly mobility and adult perceived stress | 0.17 (0.07–0.27) | −0.25 (−0.42 to −0.08) | 0.04 (−0.07 to 0.16) | −0.31 (−0.51 to −0.11) |
| Contrast 1: DM vs CA | Contrast 2: DM vs CD | Contrast 1: DM vs CA | Contrast 2: DM vs CD | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downward mobility and adult perceived stress | 0.33 (0.23–0.43) | −0.09 (−0.26 to 0.08) | 0.20 (0.06 to 0.34) | −0.15 (−0.35 to 0.06) |
Values shown are mean difference scores between groups and 95% CIs. CA indicates consistently advantaged; CD, consistently disadvantaged; DM, downwardly mobile; and UM, upwardly mobile.
