Sickness and sleep health predict frustration and affective responses to a frustrating trigger
Abstract Fluctuations in health and sleep are common, but we know surprisingly little about how these daily life stressors affect one's level of frustration and sensitivity to becoming frustrated. In this pre-registered study, 517 participants (M age = 30.4, SD = 10.4) reported their current si...
