在这篇论文中，我们将情绪刺激凝视模式的年龄差异与后来的情绪结果联系起来。虽然人们可能会认为，看更积极的情绪材料会让人心情更好，而看更负面的材料会让人心情更差，但事实证明，情绪外表和情绪之间的联系取决于年龄和个体差异。虽然老年人可以通过多看正面的材料来感觉良好，但在某些情况下，年轻人实际上通过视觉上与负面的东西接触而感觉更好。这些年龄效应被注意力能力进一步缓和。这些发现表明，不同的年龄段可能会使用不同的看起来，这可能反映了他们使用不同的情绪调节策略的偏好。这项工作也提醒人们，监管努力在改善情绪方面并不总是成功的。
In this paper, we link age differences in gaze patterns toward emotional stimuli to later mood outcomes. While one might think that looking at more positive emotional material leads to better moods, and looking at more negative material leads to worse moods, it turns out that links between emotional looking and mood depend on age as well as individual differences. Though older people can feel good by looking more at positive material, in some cases young adults actually feel better by engaging visually with the negative. These age effects are further moderated by attentional abilities. Such findings suggest that different age groups may use looking differently, and this may reflect their preferences for using distinct emotion regulatory strategies. This work also serves as a reminder that regulatory efforts are not always successful at improving mood.
