Interactive Content: Social Interactions Survey Daily Frequency of Communication Modes Graph ( based on Current Study) Communication Modes and Stress/Affect Visualizations. (2019), Robinson et al., 2016, Robinson and Lachman (2018) and Teshale and Lachman (2016). Prior uses of data include the following published articles: Rickenbach et al. Specifically, prior publications focused on control beliefs, cognition, physical activity, happiness, and selection, optimization and compensation (SOC), which differed significantly from the aims of the current study. The current study examined different variables compared with prior publications that used this dataset.

Implications and future research are discussed with a focus on how social interactions via different communication modes with oneвЂ™s social network can make a difference for daily well-being. In addition, higher previous stress exposure was related to less telephone calling on the subsequent day. To address the directionality of our findings, we also conducted lagged analyses that suggested that higher previous-day frequency of text messaging was related to higher stress exposure on the subsequent day. Internet communication was not associated with stress or affect at a within-person level. Days with more telephone calls were associated with less negative affect. Days with more in-person communication were associated with more positive affect. Multilevel modeling results revealed that days with more frequent text messaging were associated with greater stress exposure and negative affect. We conducted a diary study over 7 days for 145 participants (ages 22вЂ“94) mostly from the greater Boston area to test the role each communication mode played in daily stress exposure, stress reactivity, and positive and negative affect using within-person analyses. Yet few studies have compared such effects at a within-person level, that is, how an individual varies over time. Past studies have mainly focused on the effects of communication modality (in-person, telephone calling, text messaging, and internet) on stress and affect at a between person level by exploring the individual differences. Communication with oneвЂ™s social network can take place in person or using technology.
