老年通常与改善情绪健康有关，但2019年冠状病毒大流行释放了一种全球性压力源，严重威胁到老年人的身体健康，表面上不成比例地挑战了老年人的情绪健康。目前的研究调查了大流行期间年轻人和老年人在情绪体验和应对策略方面的差异，以及这些差异是否可以通过对大流行的评估中的年龄差异来解释。我们要求年轻（n = 181）和年长（n = 176）的成年参与者报告他们的压力、对大流行的评估、情绪以及他们应对大流行的方式。结果表明，与年轻人相比，老年人在应对大流行时经历的压力和负面影响更少，使用更多的问题聚焦型应对和更少的回避型应对。此外，影响和应对方面的年龄差异部分归因于对大流行病评估的年龄差异。尽管客观上老年人因大流行而患病和死亡的风险更高，但与年轻人相比，老年人受到的负面影响更少，使用的应对策略也更多。
Advanced age is generally associated with improved emotional well-being, but the coronavirus 2019 pandemic unleashed a global stressor that gravely threatened the physical well-being and ostensibly challenged the emotional well-being of older adults disproportionately. The current study investigated differences in emotional experiences and coping strategies between younger and older adults during the pandemic, and whether these differences were accounted for by age differences in appraisal of the pandemic. We asked younger (n = 181) and older (n = 176) adult participants to report their stress, appraisals of the pandemic, emotions, and the ways in which they were coping with the pandemic. Results indicated that older adults experienced less stress and less negative affect and used greater problem-focused coping and less avoidant coping in response to the pandemic than younger adults. Furthermore, age differences in affect and coping were partially accounted for by age differences in appraisals of the pandemic. Despite their objectively higher risk of illness and death due to the pandemic, older adults experienced less negative affect and used more agentic coping strategies than younger adults.
