这篇综述的主要论点是，与正常衰老相关的动机发展影响决策。随着年龄的增长，收益与亏损的比例变得越来越不利。由于资源的损失日益增加，目标导向从青年时期的主要收益导向转变为老年时期日益强烈的预防损失导向。由于目标是评估决策结果的参照点，成年后目标取向的这种变化也可能影响决策。决策文献已经认识到，选择受到目标导向的影响。然而，关于目标对决策过程的总体影响，特别是对老龄化的影响，很少有研究。到目前为止，关于决策和老龄化的研究结果仍然不一致，需要一个发展框架。对于应用程序，更好地了解老龄化决策者可以帮助您深入了解如何改进有关高级护理计划、医疗和住房选项等问题的沟通工作。版权所有(C)2012 S.Karger AG，巴塞尔
The main argument of this review is that motivational development associated with normal aging affects decision making. With increasing age, the ratio of gains to losses becomes more and more unfavorable. Reflecting the increasing losses in resources, goal orientation changes from a predominant orientation towards gains in young adulthood to an increasingly stronger orientation towards the prevention of loss in older adulthood. As goals serve as reference points for the evaluation of decision outcomes, this change in goal orientation across adulthood might also affect decision making. The decision-making literature has recognized that choices are influenced by goal orientation. However, little research has been conducted on how goals influence the decision-making process in general and with regard to aging in particular. To date, findings on decision making and aging remain inconsistent and are in need of a developmental framework. With regard to applications, a better understanding of the aging decision maker can provide insight into how to improve communication efforts about issues like advance care planning, medical treatment, and housing options.
