目的暴露于社会心理应激源通常会导致负性情绪和血压升高。反刍，或在压力源过去后思考它，与延迟恢复有关。考虑到年龄较大与血压对心理社会压力源的反应性更大有关，反刍可能比年轻人更不利于老年人的恢复。目前的研究审查了这一问题。我们假设，长期困扰反刍造成的老年人比年轻adults.Methodfifty-two老年人（M= 69岁）和61年轻（M= 21岁）的成年人的恢复有更大的影响，暴露于实验室的压力。随后，参与者被随机分配到反刍条件（n= 58）或无指导对照条件（n= 55）。结果相对于对照条件和所有年轻人，反刍条件下的老年参与者的血压恢复延迟。反刍并没有影响任何groups.DiscussionRumination延迟BP恢复中老年人之间的情感recovery，这表明与不同类型的情绪调节策略的年龄相关的风险。
ObjectivesExposure to psychosocial stressors often elicits increases in negative affect and blood pressure (BP). Rumination, or thinking about a stressor after it passes, is associated with delayed recovery. Given that older age is associated with greater BP reactivity to psychosocial stressors, rumination may be more detrimental to the recovery of older adults than younger adults. The current study examined this question. We hypothesized that prolonged distress resulting from rumination has greater effects on the recovery of older than younger adults.MethodFifty-two older (M= 69 years) and 61 younger (M= 21 years) adults were exposed to a lab stressor. Afterwards, participants were randomly assigned to a rumination condition (n= 58) or a no-instruction control condition (n= 55).ResultsOlder participants in the rumination condition had delayed BP recovery relative to those in the control condition and all younger adults. Rumination did not influence affective recovery among any of the groups.DiscussionRumination delays BP recovery among older adults, suggesting age-specific risks associated with different types of emotion regulation strategies.
