This study examined whether positive and negative social ties moderate the effects of negative daily events on psychological distress of 110 community-dwelling elders age 60-89. In accord with the stress- buffering hypothesis, the effect of negative daily events on psychological distress significantly (p less than .05) decreased as positive social ties increased. Contrary to the stress-amplifying hypothesis, negative social ties did not interact with negative daily events to influence psychological distress, but instead, had a significant (p less than .01) additive effect on it.
