Is there a covert, middle-age shift towards passivity and lowered ego energy? Age differences were investigated in dreams recalled from REM sleep by fifty-eight well-educated men age twenty-seven to sixty-four, and also in their TAT stories and dreams recalled from sleep at home. There was no confirmation of previous findings, although there was evidence of a slight age-related decline of aggression in dreams. These results raise the possibility that previous findings reflect cohort differences rather than age changes. Dreams and TAT stories failed to correlate sufficiently to warrant any assumption that they are interchangeable or that they tap covert processes.
是否存在一种隐秘的、中年期向被动和自我能量降低的转变？对58名年龄在27岁至64岁之间受过良好教育的男性在快速眼动睡眠中回忆的梦境，以及他们在主题统觉测验（TAT）中的故事和在家中睡眠时回忆的梦境进行了年龄差异研究。尽管有证据表明梦境中的攻击性略有与年龄相关的下降，但之前的研究结果并未得到证实。这些结果增加了一种可能性，即之前的研究结果反映的是队列差异而非年龄变化。梦境和TAT故事之间的相关性不足，不足以支持任何关于它们可互换或它们挖掘隐秘过程的假设。
