In light of mixed evidence regarding the associations between age, emotional complexity, and psychological distress, this study examined emotional complexity and its effect on psychological distress as a function of age and subjective distance-to-death.
A sample of 188 participants (age range = 29-100) rated their subjective distance-to-death and psychological distress, and reported their emotions across 14 days.
Emotional complexity was unrelated to age, but negatively related to feeling closer to death. Moreover, emotional complexity was negatively related to psychological distress among those feeling closer to death.
Results suggest that when death is perceived to be nearer, emotional complexity is hampered, yet becomes relevant in buffering psychological distress.
鉴于年龄、情绪复杂性和心理困扰之间关联的证据不一，本研究考察了情绪复杂性及其作为年龄和主观死亡距离函数对心理困扰的影响。
188名参与者（年龄范围=29 - 100岁）样本对其主观死亡距离和心理困扰进行评分，并报告他们在14天内的情绪。
情绪复杂性与年龄无关，但与感觉更接近死亡呈负相关。此外，在那些感觉更接近死亡的人群中，情绪复杂性与心理困扰呈负相关。
结果表明，当感觉死亡更近时，情绪复杂性会受到阻碍，但在缓冲心理困扰方面变得重要。
