在考虑健康促进、疾病预防和健康预期寿命时，促进健康行为的信息是必不可少的。本研究旨在探讨(1)正、负目标框架信息对青年、中年和老年人信息记忆和行为意向的影响是否存在差异；(2)框架效应是否受健康兴趣（健康促进和疾病预防）和情绪调节（认知重评和表达抑制）的中介作用；(3)正、负目标框架的中介作用是否存在差异。1248名年龄在20 ~ 70岁之间的参与者被分为积极和消极框架条件。框架对信息记忆有交互作用；所有年龄组对正面框架的识别准确率均高于负面框架。在消极框架下，年轻人的准确性高于老年人，而在积极框架下，老年人的准确性高于年轻人。此外，在积极框架中，识别准确性更高，因为参与者对健康促进有更高的兴趣，并且更频繁地使用认知重新评估。相反，情绪调节和健康促进兴趣对消极框架下的记忆没有显著影响。此外，无论信息效价如何，年龄并不直接影响行为意向，而是通过健康兴趣和情绪调节来调节行为意向，而参与者年龄越大，健康兴趣越高，行为意向越高。情绪调节意愿随重评分数的增加而增加，随压抑程度的增加而降低。我们的研究结果表明，在研究健康信息的年龄和目标框架之间的关系时，应该考虑对健康和情绪调节的兴趣。
Messages to promote health behavior are essential when considering health promotion, disease prevention, and healthy life expectancy. The present study aimed to examine whether (1) positive and negative goal-framing messages affect message memory and behavioral intention differently in younger, middle-aged, and older adults, (2) framing effects are mediated by interest in health (health promotion and disease prevention) and emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression), and (3) mediation effects differ between positive and negative frames. Participants (N= 1248) aged 20 to 70 years were divided into positive and negative frame conditions. Framing demonstrated interactive effects on message memory; all age groups showed higher recognition accuracy in the positive than the negative frame. The accuracy of younger adults was higher than that of older adults in the negative frame, while older adults showed higher accuracy than younger adults in the positive frame. Additionally, recognition accuracy was higher in the positive frame, as participants had higher interest in health promotion and used cognitive reappraisal more frequently. Contrariwise, emotion regulation and interest in health promotion did not have significant effects on memory in negative frames. Moreover, regardless of the message valence, age did not influence behavioral intention directly but was mediated by interest in health and emotion regulation, while the older the participants were, the higher their interest in health, resulting in higher intention. For emotion regulation, intention increased with higher reappraisal scores and decreased with increasing suppression. Our results suggest that interest in health and emotion regulation should be considered when examining the relationship between age and goal-framing for health messages.
