Recent research investigating emotion in old age suggests that autonomic responsiveness diminishes with age. The experiential-aspects of emotion, however show less marked age differences. Despite the health-related and social losses of old age; research findings on changes in the frequency. and valence of affect in old age are inconsistent, and those studies that have reported charges have found only small ones. Studies of emotion regulation have found evidence of increasing self-regulatory skill with age. Theoretical accounts of emotional development in late life emphasize the integration of cognitive and affective processes, but differ in whether accommadative mechanismsare considered to be as effective as proactive mechanisms in reaching emotional goals.
