本研究检验了这样一个假设：与年轻人相比，老年人对消极情绪诱导程序和中性情绪诱导程序可能会有不同的反应。这一预期的理论基础源自社会情绪选择理论（SST），该理论假定在整个成年期，情绪信息的显著程度以及调节情绪的能力存在差异。目前的数据支持这样一种观点，即消极情绪诱导存在与年龄相关的差异效应，老年人的情绪反应更强烈且更多样化，他们在自评的愉悦感、平静感和清醒程度上的下降幅度比年轻人显著更大。此外，相对于年轻人，老年人在情绪修复方面的情绪调节更为有效。我们根据SST对与年龄相关的情绪效应进行了讨论，这对整个成年期的情绪和认知研究具有实际意义。
present study examines the hypothesis that older adults might differentially react to a negative versus neutral mood induction procedure than younger adults. The rationale for this expectation was derived from Socio-emotional Selectivity Theory (SST), which postulates differential salience of emotional information and ability to regulate emotions across adulthood. The present data support a view of differential age-related effects of negative mood inductions with greater and more heterogeneous emotional reactivity among older adults, who showed a substantially greater decrease in self-rated pleasantness, calmness, and wakefulness than younger adults. Moreover, relative to the younger adults, emotion regulation in terms of mood repair was more effective among the older adults. The age-related mood effects are discussed in terms of SST and have practical implications for the study of emotion and cognition across adulthood.
