背景/研究背景：目前的研究探讨了年龄差异的情绪成分的数量用于判断情绪从面部表情。方法：58名年轻人和58名老年人进行了比较的复杂性感知情绪从标准化的面部表情，无论是明确的或模糊的样本的情绪。结果：使用个体内因素分析方法，结果表明，老年人使用更多的情绪成分在感知情绪的面孔比年轻的成年人。两个年龄组的报告更大的情绪复杂性的明确和典型的情绪刺激。年龄差异的情绪复杂性更明显的模糊的表达相比，明确的expressions.Conclusion：这些研究结果表明，老年人表现出更多的阐述情绪，特别是当情绪线索是微妙的，并提供支持更大的情绪分化在老年人。
Background/Study Context: The current study examined age differences in the number of emotion components used in the judgment of emotion from facial expressions.Methods: Fifty-eight younger and 58 older adults were compared on the complexity of perception of emotion from standardized facial expressions that were either clear or ambiguous exemplars of emotion.Results: Using an intra-individual factor analytic approach, results showed that older adults used more emotion components in perceiving emotion in faces than younger adults. Both age groups reported greater emotional complexity for the clear and prototypical emotional stimuli. Age differences in emotional complexity were more pronounced for the ambiguous expressions compared with the clear expressions.Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that older adults showed increased elaboration of emotion, particularly when emotion cues were subtle and provide support for greater emotion differentiation in older adulthood.
