对中年和老年志愿者进行了多种敌意测量。年龄和自我报告措施之间存在正相关，反映了对他人的敌对信念，包括愤世嫉俗和怀疑。有一个弱的负相关关系的年龄和自我报告措施的公开表达的愤怒和侵略，但年龄和措施之间没有关联的隐蔽historic.There是一个积极的关系，年龄和评估的敌对行为，是基于受访者的互动风格在采访中。这些年龄趋势的幅度在男性（n= 50）和女性（n= 75）之间没有差异。这些发现说明了敌意的多面性。它们对老年人也有实际影响，因为敌意与心理健康有关，并已被证明对健康和寿命有影响。
Multiple measures of hostility were administered to middle-aged and older volunteers. There was a positive association between age and self-report measures reflecting hostile beliefs about others, including cynicism and suspiciousness. There was a weak inverse relationship between age and self-report measures of the overt expression of anger and aggression, but no association between age and measures of covert hostility was found. There was a positive relationship between age and an assessment of hostile behavior that was based on the respondent's interaction style during an interview. The magnitude of these age trends did not differ between men (n= 50) and women (n= 75). These findings illustrate the multidimensional nature of hostility. They also have practical implications for older people because hostility is associated with psychological well-being and has been shown to have consequences for health and longevity.
