尽管随着年龄增长会出现认知能力下降，但老年人在解决情感上突出的人际问题时，比年轻人更有效。我回顾的证据表明，老年人（a）根据问题的情境特征调整其策略，并且（b）有效地结合使用工具性策略和情绪调节策略。我确定了影响何种类型的问题解决策略有效的问题解决情境因素。最后，我讨论了对这些因素的确定如何影响我们对日常问题解决能力的发展差异的认识。
Despite cognitive declines that occur with aging, older adults solve emotionally salient and interpersonal problems in more effective ways than young adults do. I review evidence suggesting that older adults (a) tailor their strategies to the contextual features of the problem and (b) effectively use a combination of instrumental and emotion-regulation strategies. I identify factors of problem-solving contexts that affect what types of problem-solving strategies will be effective. Finally, I discuss how this identification of factors affects what we know about developmental differences in everyday problem-solving competence.
