Description

Stress is a condition that affects people of all ages. Although it is a universal condition, the source of stress and the degree to which it affects us differs with age. I will be researching the different "stressors" associated with each age group, and how they affect the people that experience them. To do this, I will break the population down into different age groups, and then have the subjects complete surveys. I will be using students from a high school, students from a college, and employees from a business. I will also do some research to see what other experimenters have come up with in the past. I expect to find that things such as "fitting in" and doing well in school will be common stressors associated with teens, while finishing school and finding a job will be common stressors among college students. Financial issues will probably be important issues in the middle ages, while retirement issues will be predominant in older individuals.
