目的：我们调查了年龄对情绪和心理健康介导的情绪调节的影响，如认知重评和表达抑制，并检查这些关系是否因性别而异。方法：我们招募了936名日本参与者。他们分为六个年龄组，年龄从20岁到70岁不等，每个年龄组有156名参与者，男女人数相等。结果如下：结构方程模型分析表明，年龄较大的参与者更有可能使用认知重评，进一步增强积极情绪，减少消极情绪，而年龄并不影响表达抑制。此外，表达抑制对情绪的影响小于认知重评。多组分析显示存在显著的性别差异。在男性中，认知重新评价随着年龄的增长而增加，对情绪的影响比女性更积极。讨论：我们的研究结果表明，年龄对情绪调节的影响存在性别差异。我们从认知过程、动机到情绪调节、文化差异等方面对这些结果进行了讨论。
Objective: We investigated the effects of age on mood and mental health-mediated emotion regulation, such as cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, and examined whether these relationships differ according to gender. Method: We recruited 936 Japanese participants. They comprised six age groups ranging from 20 to 70 years old, with 156 participants in each age group and equal numbers of men and women. Results: Structural equation model analysis showed that older participants were more likely to use cognitive reappraisal, further enhancing positive mood and reducing negative mood, whereas, age did not affect expressive suppression. Moreover, expressive suppression had a smaller impact on mood than cognitive reappraisal. A multi-group analysis showed significant gender differences. In men, cognitive reappraisal increased with age and influenced mood more positively than in women. Discussion: Our findings indicated gender differences in aging effects on emotion regulation. We discussed about these results from the cognitive process, motivation to emotion regulation, and cultural differences.
