对成年人整个生命周期的情绪研究需要了解生活环境如何随年龄变化。有了这方面的知识，我们就能预测年龄何时与情感幸福的提升相关，以及年龄何时不再带来此类益处。在本文中，我们回顾了一些研究，这些研究发现情感幸福存在与年龄相关的稳定性甚至有所提升，以及在几种情绪调节策略中存在与年龄相关的优势。我们引入了优势与脆弱性整合理论，以预测成年人整个生命周期中情绪体验的年龄相关模式，并确定年龄不再与情绪相关结果的改善相关的情况。我们认为，只有了解日常生活的背景，我们才能预测年龄何时以及如何与情感幸福相关。
The study of emotion across the adult lifespan requires an understanding of how life circumstances change with age. With this knowledge, we can predict when age is related to increases in affective well-being and when age no longer confers such benefits. In the current paper, we review research that finds age-related stability and even increases in affective well-being, as well as agerelated strengths in several emotion regulation strategies. We introduce the theory of Strength and Vulnerability Integration to predict age-related patterns in emotional experience across the adult lifespan, and to identify situations when age will no longer be related to improved emotionrelated outcomes. We suggest that only by understanding the context of daily life can we predict when and how age is related to affective well-being.
