Osipow, Samuel H.; And Others
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v27 n1 p98-108 Aug 1985
Employed adults were studied with respect to their report of occupational stresses, strains, and coping behaviors using the Occupational Environment Scales. Older repondents reported more overload and responsibility and fewer stresses than did younger respondents. Older respondents also displayed decreasing strain and greater coping resources than younger respondents. No differences were seen in the use of social supports. (Author/BL)
