Stress and Income ($US) from 1983 to 2009
Data from national surveys in 1983, 2006, and 2009 consistently demonstrate an inverse correlation between income and stress; as income level decreases, reported mean stress scores increase. Across all income brackets, from $25,000 or less to $75,001 or more, there was a clear trend of rising stress levels over the 26-year period. The increase was steady for most groups, with the lowest income bracket consistently reporting the highest stress and the highest income bracket reporting the lowest.

Based on findings from a series of national surveys on stress conducted in 1983, 2006, and 2009, several long-term demographic trends were observed. However, the period between 2006 and 2009 showed a notable shift for certain groups. Which of the following scenarios best illustrates this specific shift?
Learn After
Given two established trends from national surveys conducted in 1983 and 2009: 1) Within any single year, as household income decreases, the average reported stress level increases. 2) Between 1983 and 2009, the average reported stress level rose for every income bracket. Based on these two trends alone, which of the following comparisons of stress levels is the most ambiguous and cannot be confidently made without knowing the specific magnitude of the changes?
A researcher analyzes data from national surveys in 1983, 2006, and 2009, noting two key trends: 1) In any given year, as household income decreases, the average reported stress level increases. 2) For every income bracket, the average reported stress level was higher in 2009 than it was in 1983. Based only on these two trends, which of the following conclusions is the most logical?
