控制信念被认为是老年人情绪健康的关键因素，但关于不同类型的控制信念的具体和长期情绪影响的问题仍然存在。我们使用来自柏林老龄化研究（年龄范围= 70-103岁）的横截面（N = 516）和纵向（N = 206）样本，研究了关于控制的三种广义信念（对理想结果的个人控制，对不理想结果的个人责任，感知他人控制）及其与情绪幸福感（积极和消极影响）的关联。控制信念和情绪幸福感之间的关系取决于控制信念的类型和考虑的情绪幸福感的维度，调查的样本，以及是否在一个给定的时间点的个体差异或个体内的变化随时间的推移进行了检查。尽管有这些复杂性，研究结果表明，对理想结果的感知控制与高情绪幸福感有关，而感知他人的控制是老年人的情绪风险因素。
control beliefs are thought to be pivotal contributors to emotional well-being in old age, questions remain about the specific and long-term emotional implications of different types of control beliefs. We examined three generalized beliefs about control (personal control over desirable outcomes, personal responsibility for undesirable outcomes, perceived others' control) and their associations with emotional well-being (positive and negative affect) using cross-sectional (N = 516) and longitudinal (N = 206) samples from the Berlin Aging Study (age range = 70-103 years). Relationships between control beliefs and emotional well-being were dependent on the type of control belief and the dimension of emotional well-being considered, the sample investigated, and on whether individual differences at a given point in time or individual differences in intraindividual changes over time were examined. Despite these complexities, findings suggest that perceived control over desirable outcomes is associated with high emotional well-being, whereas perceived others' control is an emotional risk factor in old age.
