国际情感图片系统(IAPS)已被广泛应用于面向衰老的情绪研究。然而，没有针对老年人的评级。本研究的目的是通过对53名年轻人和53名老年人的504张LAY图片的价位和唤醒程度进行评级，以缩小这一差距。与之前的研究相比，两个年龄段的人都认为积极的图片不那么激动人心，导致性价比和性唤醒之间存在更强的线性联系。这种联系在老年人中比在年轻人中更强。与年轻人相比，老年人认为负面图片更负面，更能唤起人的情绪，而积极的图片则更积极，更不能唤起人的兴趣。这可能表明年老时情绪处理的去分化。在图片识别任务的基础上，我们还报告了个别图片的记忆性分数，以及它们与效价和唤醒评分的关系。所有照片的数据都保存在www.speconorNic.orglarchive/上。
The International Affective Picture System (IAPS) has been widely used in aging-oriented research on emotion. However, no ratings for older adults are available. The aim of the present study was to close this gap by providing ratings of valence and arousal for 504 LAYS pictures by 53 young and 53 older adults. Both age groups rated positive pictures as less arousing, resulting in a stronger linear association between valence and arousal, than has been found in previous studies. This association was even stronger in older than in young adults. Older adults perceived negative pictures as more negative and more arousing and positive pictures as more positive and less arousing than young adults did. This might indicate a dedifferentiation of emotional processing in old age. On the basis of a picture recognition task, we also report memorability scores for individual pictures and how they relate to valence and arousal ratings. Data for all the pictures are archived at www.psychonornic.orglarchive/.
