The aim of this chapter is to review recent literature describing how developments in cognition may contribute to age-related changes in emotional processes, specifically emotion regulation and emotion perception. In general, older adults are more likely than young adults to report feeling positive. Prominent conceptual models of cognitive and emotional development in aging attempt to explain why the affective lives of older adults might not undergo similar age-related declines as other cognitive and physical systems. In this chapter, we will discuss predictions of cognitive and emotional development from several leading conceptual models of aging. We will then examine how closely the evidence from the fields of emotion regulation and emotion perception coincides with conceptual predictions. Finally, we will attempt to negotiate findings of age differences and age similarities in emotional processes as well as provide suggestions for future studies of emotion and cognition in aging.
本章旨在回顾近期文献，探讨认知发展如何影响与年龄相关的情绪过程变化，特别是情绪调节和情绪感知。一般来说，老年人比年轻人更有可能报告感到积极。衰老认知和情绪发展的突出概念模型试图解释为什么老年人的情感生活可能不会像其他认知和身体系统一样经历类似的与年龄相关的下降。在本章中，我们将讨论来自几个衰老主导概念模型的认知和情绪发展的预测。然后，我们将检查情绪调节和情绪感知领域的证据与概念预测的吻合程度。最后，我们将尝试协调情感过程中年龄差异和年龄相似性的发现，并为衰老中情感和认知的未来研究提供建议。
