为了调查与熟悉的合作伙伴合作的绩效收益（补偿和优化）和损失（未能实现潜力）方面与年龄相关的潜在差异，作者比较了一对年长（N = 75；69％女性）和年轻（N = 75；52％女性）年龄相同的同性朋友，他们通过互动或单独工作来制定解决人际和工具问题的策略。检查了两个策略流畅性指标（策略的总数和唯一数量）和两个策略类型指标（策略库的内容以及老年人和年轻人选择的最有效的策略）。将交互配对产生的策略与名义配对分数进行比较。名义配对分数反映了二人潜力，是通过汇总两个单独工作的人的表现而得出的。策略流畅性和类型的年龄差异与之前基于个体问题解决者的研究非常相似。交互对产生的策略比名义对少，但策略类型没有差异。对于人际关系问题，老年人相对更有可能实现其二元潜力。
To investigate potential age-related differences in performance gains (compensation and optimization) and losses (failure to actualize potential) of collaboration with a familiar partner, the authors compared pairs of older (N= 75; 69% women) and younger (N= 75; 52% women) age-homogeneous same-gender friends who interacted or worked alone to generate strategies for solving interpersonal and instrumental problems. Two indexes of strategy fluency (total and unique number of strategies) and 2 indexes of strategy type (content of strategy repertoires and strategy selected as most effective by older and younger adults) were examined. Strategies generated by interacting pairs were compared with nominal pair scores. Nominal pair scores indexed dyadic potential and were created by pooling the performance of 2 individuals who worked alone. Age differences in strategy fluency and type were largely similar to prior research based on individual problem solvers. Interacting pairs produced fewer strategies than nominal pairs, but there were no differences in strategy type. For interpersonal problems, older adults were relatively more likely to actualize their dyadic potential.
