Neighborhood safety x stressor interaction in relation to negative affect among midlife and older adults. A dichotomous perceived neighborhood safety variable was constructed for visualization purposes only, where individuals providing the highest rating of neighborhood safety (a value of 4 on a 1–4 scale) were coded as Safe, and all others were coded as Not Safe, given the strong skewness of the neighborhood safety variable. Figure adjusted for race/ethnicity, individual education, sex, age, levels of neuroticism, neighborhood income, mean number of stressors over the diary period, weekday versus weekend day, and chronic stressors in childhood, adulthood, and over the lifespan as well as interactions between these sources of chronic stress and self-reported daily stressors.
