Older adults fixate less on negative parts of skin cancer videos than younger adults, leading them to feel better (Isaacowitz & Choi, 2012). We extended this paradigm to middle-aged adults (ages 35-59, n = 63), whose fixation patterns were measured as they viewed skin cancer videos; mood and behavior were also assessed. Middle-aged adults looked even less at the videos than the other age groups, especially at the negative clips. They also reported the best moods but relatively low levels of learning and positive skin cancer behavior. In some cases, middle-aged adults may show larger "age-related positivity effects" than older adults.
老年人对皮肤癌视频的负面内容关注较少，比年轻人感觉更好（Isaacowitz 和 Choi，2012）。我们将这一范式扩展到中年成年人（年龄 35-59 岁，n=63），在他们观看皮肤癌视频时测量他们的注视模式；还评估了他们的情绪和行为。与其他年龄组相比，中年成年人观看视频的次数甚至更少，尤其是观看负面视频的次数。他们还报告了最好的情绪，但学习和积极的皮肤癌行为水平相对较低。在某些情况下，中年成年人可能比老年人表现出更大的“与年龄相关的积极性效应”。
