These findings suggest that the process of upward mobility may incur psychological costs, particularly for females. The study highlights the need for further inquiry into mechanisms underlying gender disparities in the health effects of striving, and underscores the complex interplay between socioeconomic mobility, stress, discrimination, and health.
