作者提供了一份关于情绪功能年龄差异的实验室研究综述。作者提出，这一研究领域将受益于一种生态方法，在这种方法中，情绪功能的直接背景被更明确地考虑。更具体地说，迄今为止，许多实验室研究使用的刺激和任务几乎没有生态有效性，并且没有明确考虑研究环境和刺激材料可能对结果测量产生年龄差异影响的可能性。这种做法可能会导致研究结果不一致，并在老年人的情绪功能方面得出狭隘或不正确的结论。
The authors provide a review of selected laboratory research on age differences in emotional functioning. The authors propose that this research area would benefit from an ecological approach in which the immediate context of emotional functioning is more explicitly considered. More specifically, to date many laboratory studies have used stimuli and tasks with little ecological validity and did not explicitly consider the possibility that the research setting and stimulus material might have age-differential effects on the outcome measures. This practice may have led to inconsistent findings across studies and narrow or incorrect conclusions in terms of older adults' emotional functioning.
