过去关于情绪识别和衰老的研究发现，当通过让参与者检测完整或部分（例如眼睛区域）面部静态图像中描绘的单一情绪来评估情绪识别时，年龄相关的下降证据。这些测试提供了良好的实验控制，但没有捕捉到真实世界的情感识别，这往往是由连续的情感判断和动态多模态刺激的动态性质。研究表明，老年人在更好地模拟现实社会环境的条件下往往表现得更好。我们使用两种传统方法（面部和眼睛静态图像的单一情绪判断）和另一种方法评估了年轻人，中年人和老年人的情绪识别，在这种方法中，参与者对动态多模态刺激（年轻人，中年人和老年人之间的录像互动）进行了连续的情绪判断。结果显示年龄×测试交互作用。与之前的研究基本一致，我们发现一些证据表明，老年人在从面部图像（仅针对悲伤和厌恶的面部）和眼睛图像（仅针对老年人的眼睛）判断单一情绪时表现得比年轻人差，中年人介于两者之间。相比之下，老年人在涉及二元互动的持续情绪判断的测试中表现得比年轻人好，中年人介于两者之间。在测试中，目标刺激不同的年龄，情绪识别并没有促进参与者和目标之间的年龄匹配。这些研究结果进行了讨论的理论和方法的影响，为研究老龄化和情绪处理。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022阿帕，保留所有权利）
Past studies on emotion recognition and aging have found evidence of age-related decline when emotion recognition was assessed by having participants detect single emotions depicted in static images of full or partial (eg, eye region) faces. These tests afford good experimental control but do not capture the dynamic nature of real-world emotion recognition, which is often characterized by continuous emotional judgments and dynamic multimodal stimuli. Research suggests that older adults often perform better under conditions that better mimic real-world social contexts. We assessed emotion recognition in young, middle-aged, and older adults using two traditional methods (single emotion judgments of static images of faces and eyes) and an additional method in which participants made continuous emotion judgments of dynamic, multimodal stimuli (videotaped interactions between young, middle-aged, and older couples). Results revealed an Age× Test interaction. Largely consistent with prior research, we found some evidence that older adults performed worse than young adults when judging single emotions from images of faces (for sad and disgust faces only) and eyes (for older eyes only), with middle-aged adults falling in between. In contrast, older adults did better than young adults on the test involving continuous emotion judgments of dyadic interactions, with middle-aged adults falling in between. In tests in which target stimuli differed in age, emotion recognition was not facilitated by an age match between participant and target. These findings are discussed in terms of theoretical and methodological implications for the study of aging and emotional processing.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
