探索了成人生活跨度的情感体验的年龄差异，重点是日常生活中情感体验的频率，强度，复杂性和一致性。一百八十四岁，18至94岁，参加了经验采样的程序，在1周期间记录了情绪。年龄与积极的情感体验的频率无关。曲线关系最能表征负面情绪体验。负面情绪的频率下降，直到大约60岁，这一点下降停止。针对每个参与者计算的个人因素分析表明，年龄与更差异化的情感体验有关。此外，高度积极的情感经历的时期更有可能在老年人中忍受，而高度负面情绪体验的时期则不太稳定。在社会情感选择性理论的理论框架内解释了发现。
Age differences in emotional experience over the adult life span were explored, focusing on the frequency, intensity, complexity, and consistency of emotional experience in everyday life. One hundred eighty-four people, age 18 to 94 years, participated in an experience-sampling procedure in which emotions were recorded across a 1-week period. Age was unrelated to frequency of positive emotional experience. A curvilinear relationship best characterized negative emotional experience. Negative emotions declined in frequency until approximately age 60, at which point the decline ceased. Individual factor analyses computed for each participant revealed that age was associated with more differentiated emotional experience. In addition, periods of highly positive emotional experience were more likely to endure among older people and periods of highly negative emotional experience were less stable. Findings are interpreted within the theoretical framework of socioemotional selectivity theory.
