4项研究调查了情绪体验、表达和控制的年龄差异。研究1使用了127名非裔美国人和欧裔美国人（年龄19-96岁）的社区样本；研究2使用了52名华裔美国人和欧裔美国人（年龄在20-85岁）的社区样本；研究3使用了来自2个年龄组（20-35岁和70岁以上）的49名挪威人的社区样本；并在研究4中使用了1080名美国修女（年龄在24-101岁）的样本。在研究中，出现了一致的年龄差异模式。与年轻的参与者相比，年长的参与者报告的负面情绪经历更少，情绪控制能力更强。关于情绪表达的研究结果不太一致，但当存在年龄差异时，年龄较大的参与者报告的表达能力较低。
Age differences in emotional experience, expression, and control were investigated in 4 studies. A community sample of 127 African Americans and European Americans (ages 19-96 years) was used in Study I; a community sample of 52 Chinese Americans and European Americans (ages 20-85 years) was used in Study 2; a community sample of 49 Norwegians drawn from 2 age groups (ages 20-35 years and 70+ years) was used in Study 3; and a sample of 1,080 American nuns (ages 24-101 gears) was used in Study 4, Across studies, a consistent pattern of age differences emerged. Compared with younger participants, older participants reported fewer negative emotional experiences and greater emotional control. Findings regarding emotional expressivity were less consistent, but when there were age differences, older participants reported lesser expressivity Results are interpreted in terms of increasingly competent emotion regulation across the life span.
