DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application addresses broad Challenge Area (R21): Basic Research on Self-Regulation, RFA-AG-11-010: Exploratory/developmental research applications examining basic mechanisms of self-regulation. Our knowledge of the real-time dynamics of emotion regulation is limited in part due to the labor- and time-intensive nature of current coding systems as well as reliance on statistical methods that ignore time-relevant information and social context. The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the impact of a social partner on age-related differences in basic processes of emotion regulation. We propose to advance current understanding of basic processes of emotion regulation by i) measuring communicative displays of facial expression, vocal prosody, and head movement through automated acquisition with high temporal resolution, ii) inclusion of a social partner to test differences between within- person and between-person regulation of emotional expression, and iii) estimate contributions of emotion experience and sensitivity in the perception of emotion cues to age-related differences in emotion regulation. These findings will further our understanding of basic emotion regulation processes and provide a foundation on which to build interventions that have the potential to transform research in communication throughout the lifespan. There is a growing literature documenting positive age-related changes in emotion regulation from young through late adulthood. Older adults report being more effective at regulating their emotions compared to younger adults. In contrast other studies suggest age-related declines in the ability to express and perceive emotional information. Concurrent age- related improvements in emotion regulation and declines in expression and perception of negative emotions require explanation in the context of emotion regulation during a conversation. Conversations require simultaneous regulation of subjective emotions, regulation of expressed emotions, and perception of expressed emotions of the conversational partner. It is as yet unclear how these observed age-related differences in perception and expression of emotions contribute to emotion regulation in natural interpersonal intergenerational interactions. The goals of the current project are to (a) examine differences in emotion regulation depending on whether a conversational partner is present or absent, (b) to evaluate age-related differences in emotion regulation related to the age of a conversational partner, and (c) to estimate contributions of the ability to express one's own emotions and perceive others' emotions on observed dynamics of emotion regulation. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the impact of a social partner on age-related differences in basic processes of emotion regulation. This research will provide a foundation on which to build interventions for communication and to develop non-invasive diagnostic tools for early detection of physiological and psychological disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请涉及广泛的挑战领域（R21）：自我调节的基础研究，RFA-AG-11-010：检查自我调节基本机制的探索性/发展性研究应用。 我们对情绪调节的实时动态的了解是有限的，部分原因是当前编码系统的劳动和时间密集型，以及依赖于忽略时间相关信息和社会背景的统计方法。本研究的主要目的是评估社会伙伴对情绪调节基本过程中年龄相关差异的影响。我们建议通过i）通过具有高时间分辨率的自动采集来测量面部表情、语音韵律和头部运动的交流显示，ii）包括社会伙伴来测试人内和人与人之间的情绪表达调节之间的差异，以及iii）估计情绪体验和情绪线索感知中的敏感性对情绪调节中的年龄相关差异的贡献。这些发现将进一步加深我们对基本情绪调节过程的理解，并为建立干预措施提供基础，这些干预措施有可能改变整个生命周期的沟通研究。 越来越多的文献记录了从年轻到成年后期情绪调节的积极年龄相关变化。老年人报告说，与年轻人相比，他们在调节情绪方面更有效。相反，其他研究表明，表达和感知情感信息的能力与年龄有关。同时出现的与年龄相关的情绪调节的改善和消极情绪的表达和感知的下降需要在谈话中的情绪调节的背景下进行解释。对话需要同时调节主观情绪、调节所表达的情绪以及感知对话伙伴所表达的情绪。目前还不清楚这些观察到的年龄相关的差异，在感知和表达的情绪有助于情绪调节自然人际代际互动。 本研究的目的是：（a）研究不同年龄段的人在情绪调节方面的差异，（B）评价不同年龄段的人在情绪调节方面的差异，（c）评价表达自己情绪和感知他人情绪的能力对观察到的情绪调节动态的贡献。 公共卫生关系：本研究的主要目的是评估社会伙伴对情绪调节基本过程中年龄相关差异的影响。这项研究将为建立沟通干预措施和开发早期发现生理和心理疾病的非侵入性诊断工具奠定基础。
