Daily events are important for age differences in mean and duration for negative affect but not positive affect.
Across midlife and into old age, older adults often report lower levels of negative affect and similar if not higher levels of positive affect than relatively younger adults.

OBJECTIVES The higher order structure of Positive Affect (PA) and Negative Affect (NA) is comparable in self-report affect data from younger and older adults. The current study advances this work by comparing the factor structure of facets of PA and NA in older and younger adults using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. METHOD Older (N = 203; M age = 73.5 years, range 65-92) and yo...
متن کاملAge-related differences in absolute but not relative metamemory accuracy.
In 3 experiments, the effects of age on different kinds of metacognitive prediction accuracy were assessed. participants made global memory predictions and item-by-item memory predictions in a single experimental task. Metacognitive accuracy was evaluated with correlational and more traditional difference-score measures. Difference-score measures were found, in some cases, to be sensitive to le...

متن کاملThere are age-related changes in neural connectivity during the encoding of positive, but not negative, information.
INTRODUCTION Older adults often show sustained attention toward positive information and an improved memory for positive events.

In the present study, ef...
