Imagining helping a person in need can facilitate prosocial intentions. Here we investigated how this effect can change with aging. We found that, similar to young adults, older adults were more willing to help a person in need when they imagined helping that person compared to a baseline condition that did not involve helping, but not compared to a conceptual helping control condition. Controlling for heightened emotional concern in older adults revealed an age-related difference in the effect of imagining on willingness to help. While we observed age-related condition effects, we also found that the subjective vividness of scene imagery predicted willingness to help for both age groups. Our findings provide insight into the relations among episodic simulation, healthy aging, emotion, and prosociality. Implications for effects of episodic memory and aging on social decision-making are discussed.
想象帮助有需要的人可以促进亲社会意图。在此，我们研究了这种效应如何随年龄增长而变化。我们发现，与年轻人相似，与不涉及帮助的基线条件相比，老年人在想象帮助他人时更愿意帮助有需要的人，但与概念性帮助对照条件相比则不然。控制老年人增强的情感关注后发现，想象对帮助意愿的影响存在与年龄相关的差异。虽然我们观察到了与年龄相关的条件效应，但我们也发现场景意象的主观生动性预测了两个年龄组的帮助意愿。我们的研究结果为情景模拟、健康老龄化、情感和亲社会行为之间的关系提供了见解。讨论了情景记忆和老龄化对社会决策的影响。
