本研究将寿命的观点纳入现有的侵入性思维理论，以研究与年龄相关的差异，在控制侵入性思维的难度，侵入性思维复发后的痛苦，以及赋予这些复发的意义。年轻（N = 51）和老年（N = 49）社区成年人被随机分配抑制（即，或者是一个念头，或者是一个念头。参与者在参与侵入性思想的过程中评估了他们的积极和消极影响，并评估了他们对日常侵入性思想的重复的意义。结果表明，老年人倾向于感知更大的困难，控制侵入性思想比年轻的成年人，尽管没有不同的实际复发的侵入性思想。至于痛苦，ooHAcrosslder成年人经历了更高水平的积极影响比年轻的成年人在整个参与的侵入性思想。然而，老年人也报告了更多的残余负面影响后，从事侵入性的想法比年轻的成年人。最后，老年人和年轻人似乎赋予意义的侵入性思想的复发符合年龄相关的问题。具体来说，老年人倾向于将侵入性思想的复发解释为认知能力下降的迹象，但与年轻人相比，他们不太可能将侵入性思想视为道德失败的迹象。总之，这些结果突出了老年人在侵入性思维后经历情绪失调的一系列潜在风险和保护因素。
The current study incorporated a lifespan perspective into existing theories of intrusive thoughts to examine age-related differences in the difficulty controlling intrusive thoughts, the distress following intrusive thought recurrences, and the meanings assigned to these recurrences. Younger (N = 51) and older (N = 49) community adults were randomly assigned to suppress (i.e., keep out of mind) or monitor an intrusive thought. Participants rated their positive and negative affect throughout engagement with the intrusive thought, and also rated the meanings they gave to recurrences of their everyday intrusive thoughts. The results demonstrated that older adults tended to perceive greater difficulty with controlling the intrusive thought than younger adults, despite not differing in the actual recurrence of the intrusive thought. With regard to distress, ooHAcrosslder adults experienced steadier levels of positive affect than younger adults throughout engagement with the intrusive thought. However, older adults also reported greater residual negative affect after engaging with the intrusive thought than younger adults. Finally, older and younger adults appeared to assign meanings to recurrences of intrusive thoughts in line with age-relevant concerns. Specifically, older adults were prone to interpret the recurrence of intrusive thoughts as a sign of cognitive decline, but were less likely than younger adults to see intrusive thoughts as a sign of moral failure. Together, these results highlight a range of potential risk and protective factors in older adults for experiencing emotion dysregulation after intrusive thoughts.
