The young individuals who have an individualistic culture have less stress and the young individuals who have a collectivistic culture have more stress. Within the adult age group, there is a direct and significant relationship between individualism and stress (p< 0.05) which means that the adult age group that has an individualistic culture experiences more stress while no relationship was found between a collectivistic culture and stress in the adult age group (P> 0.05). with regard to the findings of this study, the veterans’ caregivers between the age of 15 to 44 have a more individualistic culture whereas the caregivers between the age of 45 to 78 have a more collectivistic culture.

If adult caregivers are in charge of the group, they will arguably experience less stress.
