Two important age-related differences in the stress and coping paradigm are the sources of stress and the choice of coping strategies.  Younger adults, and those with lower levels of education and income reported higher stress than older adults and those with higher levels of education and income.  One key difference is that older adults are less likely to use active coping strategies and are more likely to use past experience, emotion-focused, and religious coping strategies.
