Outline of Final Research Achievements

Evidence indicates that emotional well-being improves with aging. The present research investigated the underlying mechanism by using longitudinal and experimental approaches. First, the longitudinal studies tested the hypothesis that development in emotion regulation could improve emotional well-being. The three-year follow-up study suggested that older adults didn’t exhibit significant development in emotion regulation, but that changes in emotion regulation predicted changes in positive affect. Second, the experimental studies examined the hypothesis that emotion regulation could develop in spite of age-related cognitive decline. The experiments incorporating old and young adults indicated that both old and young participants showed preference for positive pictures to negative ones, and that older adults were more likely to regulate elicited emotions than young adults.
