Data from the 1969 and 1971 waves of the NLS of Older Men were analyzed to assess the effects of stressful economic life events (e.g., income loss, unemployment) on psycho-physiological well-being. The role of locus of control in mediating the effects of economic stress was also examined. A three-stage least squares analysis of the 2,698 responses confirms the hypothesis that internals handle economic stress in a more constructive or realistic way than externals. The data did show that economic stress exerted a strong negative effect on psycho- physiological well-being. The need for more research on coping strategies in stress situations was also discussed.
