优势和脆弱性整合模型表明，老年人由于资源减少而难以调节高唤醒负刺激的情绪。我们调查年龄，身体和认知资源，情感体验，和感知情绪调节（ER）的需求之间的关系。MethodsParticipants年龄在25-85（N= 290）完成评估的认知能力和身体健康。在一个经验采样程序（6倍，每天10天），参与者报告他们的瞬间情绪体验和感知需要调节自己的emotions. ResultsIndependentof唤醒水平，负面情绪与较高的ER需要和积极的情绪与较低的ER需要。这种亲享乐取向在老年人和拥有更多认知资源的人中更为强烈。与预测相反，身体健康状况不佳的老年人，与身体健康状况不佳的年轻人相比，经历高水平高唤醒负面情绪的老年人平均ER需求较低。然而，老年人与较低的认知资源谁经历了高水平的高唤醒的负面情绪平均abstractedhigherER need.DiscussionFindings表明，年轻的年龄和较低的认知能力水平与较少的感知需要调节负面情绪状态。身体上的脆弱也可能会抑制人们对调节高唤醒负面情绪的需求，但这只适用于老年人。资源和情感目标的变化可能会影响个体参与ER的动机以及这些努力的有效性。
ObjectivesThe Strengths and Vulnerabilities Integration model suggests older adults experience difficulty regulating emotions with high-arousal negative stimuli due to decreases in resources. We investigate relationships among age, physical and cognitive resources, emotional experience, and perceived emotion regulation (ER) needs.MethodsParticipants aged 25–85 (N= 290) completed assessments of cognitive ability and physical health. In an experience sampling procedure (6x per day for 10 days), participants reported their momentary emotion experience and perceived need to regulate their emotions.ResultsRegardless of arousal level, negative emotion was associated with higher ER need and positive emotion was associated with lower ER need. This pro-hedonic orientation was stronger among older adults and individuals with more cognitive resources. In contrast to predictions, older adults in poor physical health who experience high levels of high-arousal negative emotion on average reportedlowerER need compared with younger adults in poor physical health. However, older adults with lower cognitive resources who experience high levels of high-arousal negative emotion on average reportedhigherER need.DiscussionFindings suggest that younger age and lower levels of cognitive ability are linked to less perceived need to regulate negative emotional states. Physical vulnerabilities also may dampen the perceived need for regulating high-arousal negative emotions, but only among older adults. Age-related shifts in resources and emotional goals may influence the likelihood that individuals are motivated to engage in ER, as well as the effectiveness of those efforts.
