尽管在人际感知和老龄化方面的研究激增，但没有研究确定老年人在日常生活中产生的社会和情感感知的本质。在这项研究中，我们的目的是确定社会生态特征，表征日常人际感知在整个成人寿命。方法进行3项研究。研究1确定并比较了青年、中年和老年人日常人际感知的目标和位置；这些知觉在研究2中被分类。研究3运用这些分类来识别和比较老年人人际感知的社会生态。结果日常人际感知主要是针对熟悉的人，发生在熟悉的地点，但具体的熟悉对象和地点有时会随着年龄的变化而发生显著变化。然而，在日常生活中产生的感知类型在不同年龄组之间并没有显著差异。上了年纪的人会做出类似的人际判断，但这些判断的对象和位置可能会随着年龄的增长而改变。未来关于人际感知与老龄化的研究需要考虑到老年个体社会生态的这些特征，以提供对老龄化过程的准确评估。
ObjectivesDespite a proliferation of research in interpersonal perception and aging, no research has identified the nature of the social and emotional perceptions made by aging individuals in everyday life. In this study, we aimed to identify the social ecological features that characterize everyday interpersonal perception across the adult lifespan.MethodThree studies were conducted. Study 1 identified and compared the targets and locations of young, middle-age, and older adults’ everyday interpersonal perceptions; these perceptions were categorized into types in Study 2. Study 3 applied these categorizations to identify and compare the social ecology surrounding aging individuals’interpersonal perceptions.ResultsEveryday interpersonal perceptions were directed toward familiar others and occurred in familiar locations, although the specific familiar targets and locations sometimes varied significantly with age. However, the types of perceptions made in everyday life did not vary significantly between age groups.DiscussionAging individuals make similar types of interpersonal judgments, but the targets and locations of these judgments may change with age. Future studies on interpersonal perception and aging will need to account for these features of the aging individual’s social ecology to provide an accurate assessment of the aging process.
