People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior．
However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health．
From this researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will deal with them．
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health．People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time．
"Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health.” lead researcher Dr．Joseph Grzywacz，of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement．“The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged．”
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known that their stress is more acute（severe）and chronic (lasting)．
“If something happens every day, maybe it’s not seen as a stressor ” Grzywacz says．“Maybe it is just 1ife．”

根据《健康和社会行为》周刊对当前问题的一篇报道，得出这样一个结论：受教育少的人生活中遭受的压力也小。然而，研究还发现当低等教育的人受到压力时，他们的健康会受到更严重更大的影响。
研究人员断定，引起压力的逐日因素不是随意的，你处在社会的位置决定了你每天面临的问题的种类，和你如何处理好这些问题。
研究小组采访了全国1031位成年人八天的日常压力强度和健康。没有高等学校文凭的人在调查期间他们的压力报告是30%，没有高等学位的人同时期的压力是38%，没有大专学位的人同时期的压力是44%。
“不太优秀的人在基本日常生活中处于亚健康，而且健康更有可能下降。”主要调查者威克森林大学浸信医学中心的约瑟夫博士，在有备声明中说到，“健康下降趋势和日常紧张性刺激密切联系，并且日常紧张性刺激对不太优秀的人的健康的影响更加具有危害性。”
约瑟夫暗示随后调查中断定为什么受低等教育的人报道的压力时日更少，当他们知道他们的压力更持久，更严重。
“如果每天发生了一些事，可能没有被看作是压力。”约瑟夫说，“可能仅仅是生活。”
