Joining us now to discuss managing election stress and anxiety is Dr. Arthur Evans.
He's the CEO of the American Psychological Association.
Dr. Evans, thank you so much for being with us.
Thank you.
I'm glad to be here.
Your organization just released its newest stress in America.
The survey is out now.
Before we get to the findings, tell us about how that survey was conducted.
Well, it was conducted back in August, the first part of August, the first couple of weeks of August, about over 3,000 people.
And one of the things that we do so that we can talk specifically about subgroups is we oversample certain populations so that we have enough in the sample that we can reliably say that this is what we believe this group is saying and thinking.
And one of the things that the survey looked at is the relation to election stress that's causing Americans.
Here are some of the findings.
41% reported the state of the nation has made them consider moving to a different country.
39% say the political environment in their state has made them consider moving to a different state.
64% feel their rights are under attack.
82% worry people may be biasing their values and opinions on false and inaccurate information.
32% say the political climate has caused strain between them and family members.
Talk to us about this report and your takeaway from those findings.
Sure, that's actually a very good summary of what we found.
You know, what I would say is that election stress is bipartisan.
One of the things that was very striking in this survey is that on most of the questions that you talked about there, there are not a lot of differences between Democrats and Republicans and independents for that matter.
So we know this is a phenomenon that is affecting all of us in the population.
The other thing that was really striking is that people are really thinking about the consequences of the election in pretty dire terms.
72% saying that they think that this election will end in violence.
And again, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents think that.
Over half of people thinking that this election could be the end of democracy.
Again, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents saying that.
So there is a lot of consistency in how people are viewing these issues, even if we have pretty elevated levels of stress around the election itself.
And Dr. Evans' research shows that the distress we are feeling about the state of politics can harm both our physical and mental health.
How can that present?
What can it look like?
Well, we know that stress can affect both our physical and our mental health.
It can affect our cardiovascular health.
It can affect chronic diseases like diabetes.
We know it can affect our mental health, anxiety, depression, and substance use.
So we really have to be concerned about election stress because it is stress.
And we know the stress can have a very negative impact on our overall health, both physical and mental.
And you mentioned that this stress is pretty much evenly spread out among individuals, regardless of the political party that they consider themselves under.
But what about other groups, younger generations, older generations, men versus women?
