力量和脆弱性整合(SAVI)是一个理论模型，可以预测成年后情绪体验的变化。越来越多的研究发现，随着人们年龄的增长，他们会变得更善于利用思想和行为来避免或减轻受到负面经历的影响。人们在一生的经历中逐渐获得了这方面的专业知识，并且更有动力来调节自己的情绪，因为人们对还剩下来的时间的看法。萨维进一步假设，衰老与生理弱点有关，这使得调节高水平的情绪唤醒变得更加困难。在人们经历高度痛苦的情况下，通常有利于老年人使用情绪调节策略的年龄差异将被削弱(甚至可能被抵消或颠倒)，持续的情绪唤醒的生理后果将对老年人来说代价更高。在这篇文章中，我们描述SAVI并讨论支持其预测的最新研究。
Strength and vulnerability integration (SAVI) is a theoretical model that predicts changes in emotional experience across adulthood. A growing number of studies find that as people age, they become more adept at using thoughts and behaviors to avoid or mitigate exposure to negative experiences. People gradually acquire this expertise over a lifetime of experiences and are more motivated to regulate their emotions because of perceptions of time left to live. SAVI further posits that aging is associated with physiological vulnerabilities that make regulating high levels of emotional arousal more difficult. In situations in which people experience high levels of distress, age differences that normally favor older adults in the use of emotion-regulation strategies will be attenuated (and may even be nullified or reversed), and the physiological consequences of sustained emotional arousal will be more costly for older adults. In this article, we describe SAVI and discuss recent studies supporting its predictions.
