Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bolger et al. (1989) defined two specific types of stress contagion: spillover and crossover. Spillover occurs when stressors in one domain (e.g. work) spill over into another domain (e.g. home). Crossover occurs when stressors experienced by one person are then experienced by another person (e.g. a spouse or coworker). There is no mention of microsystems, macrosystems, gender, race, socioeconomic level, or regional location in relation to stress contagion.
