品味是一种关注积极体验的能力，并意识到并调节对这些体验的积极情绪。之前的研究已经发现，品尝干预可以有效地改善年轻人的幸福感，但研究结果并未扩展到老年人。这项初步研究考察了为期一周的品尝干预对老年人心理韧性和幸福感(即抑郁症状和幸福感)的影响。受试者为111名60岁以上的成年人，他们在干预前、干预后以及干预后1个月和3个月完成了弹性、抑郁症状和幸福感的测量。分析显示，高保真地完成品尝干预的参与者还报告说，随着时间的推移，他们在韧性、抑郁症状和幸福感方面都有所改善。这些发现表明，品尝干预有可能提高老年人的韧性和心理健康。
Savoring is the ability to be mindful of positive experiences and to be aware of and regulate positive feelings about these experiences. Previous research has found that savoring interventions can be effective at improving well-being of younger adults, but findings have not been extended to older populations. This pilot study examined the effects of a 1-week savoring intervention on older adults' psychological resilience and well-being (i.e., depressive symptoms and happiness). Participants, 111 adults ages 60 or over, completed measures of resilience, depressive symptoms, and happiness pre- and postintervention as well as 1 month and 3 months after the intervention. Analyses revealed that participants who completed the savoring intervention with high fidelity also reported improvements in resilience, depressive symptoms, and happiness over time. These findings suggest that the savoring intervention has the potential to enhance older adults' resilience and psychological well-being.
