本研究以差异情绪理论为指导，探讨了青年、中年和老年人的情感体验。结果表明年龄相似性多于差异。没有人支持随着年龄的增长，情绪会变得越来越消极的说法，也没有证据表明情绪对老年人来说不那么突出或重要。然而，也有人支持这样一种假设：在生命周期的不同阶段，不同类别的情感体验有不同的激发物，人们在成年后会以不同的方式监控和抑制自己的情感表达。最令人震惊的发现是，对情感公开表现的传统限制似乎对老年人的影响要小于年轻人。研究结果表明，情绪在女性的生活中更重要，她们可能比男性更容易掩饰情绪。
This study examined the affective experiences of young, middle-aged, and older adults using differential emotions theory as a guide. The results indicated more age similarities than differences. There was no support for the claim that there is a drift toward more negative affect with age nor was there evidence that emotion is less salient or important to older people. There was support, however, for the hypothesis that classes of emotional experience have somewhat different elicitors at different stages in the life cycle and that people monitor and inhibit the expression of their feelings in different ways over the adult years. The most striking finding was that conventional constraints on the overt display of affect appear to have less impact on older versus younger individuals. The findings indicate that emotion is more important in the lives of women and that they may engage in more emotional masking than men.
