Aging and emotions: experience, regulation, and perception

Abstract: Whereas some theories suggest that emotion-related processes become more positive with age, recent empirical findings on affective experience, emotion regulation, and emotion perception depict a more nuanced picture. Though there is some evidence for positive age trajectories in affective experience, results are mixed for emotion regulation and largely negative for emotion perception. Thus, current findings suggest that the effects of age on emotion vary across different affective domains; age patterns are als… Show more

“…Nonetheless, some work has explored using odor to ameliorate cognitive and emotional deficits in this population. For example, dementia is associated not only with cognitive impairment but often also with emotional dysregulation and anxiety (Gulpers et al, 2016;Isaacowitz et al, 2017). There is emerging evidence that odors may help reduce anxiety in ageing (Ballanger et al, 2019), though much more work is required to clarify these potential effects.…”

“…In the third and final GLMM analysis, the sex and age of the older people presented a significant association with the types of responses provided by the nurses. The age differences observed might be related to age‐related differences in how older people express and control their emotions (Gross et al, ; Isaacowitz et al, ). Nurses might be challenged in their attentiveness to emotional distress when encountering age‐related changes.…”

“…For example, older people sometimes experience more emotional control, lower intensity emotions, and overall, fewer emotions compared to younger people (Gross et al, ). However, age‐related differences in emotional experiences vary depending on the person or type of emotional state involved (Isaacowitz, Livingstone, & Castro, ). Older females have also been found to experience more disabilities (Newman & Brach, ) and to more frequently express a loss of appetite, a lack of sleep, and feelings of nervousness, anxiousness, and loneliness (Hellström & Hallberg, ).…”

“…Este hallazgo puede explicarse a partir de teorías sobre la experiencia, regulación y percepción en el proceso de envejecimiento, puesto que se ha reportado un patrón positivo relacionado con la edad, en la respuesta ante situaciones negativas. De esta manera, la percepción de tiempo limitado que tienen las personas mayores los lleva a ser selectivos emocionalmente y a concentrarse en el presente, desarrollando más habilidades de regulación emocional (22) .…”
