Abstract |
Design and Methods: Hypotheses were tested by performing 2-level multilevel modeling analysis on 787 participants aged 33–83 who participated in the Daily Stress Project (2004–2009). Results: Adult daughters who recalled more childhood emotional abuse from their mother reported a higher average level of daily emotional distress nearly a decade later. The association between network stress and emotional distress was only significant among adult daughters. This emotional reactivity was attenuated by greater childhood emotional support from mothers. Implications: Recalled childhood mother–child relationship continues to influence stress and coping across the lifespan, especially among women. |
