Human Trafficking 101REGISTER9:00 am-12:15 pm
In recent years researchers have uncovered important age differences in emotional experience, emotional processing, and emotion regulation. Older adults bring a different perspective and prioritization to the emotional aspects of life. This seems to affect the balance of positive to negative emotions experienced in daily life in a more favorable direction with increasing age, perhaps through the ways in which individuals regulate their emotions. Theoretical accounts of these age differences suggest that as individuals approach an ending, such as death, they focus more on emotionally meaningful interactions and activities. Other theories highlight changes in the brain that occur with age to dampen the impact of negative emotional experiences and the cognitive limitations that accompany aging. The goal of this presentation is to describe these new findings regarding emotional experience, emotional processing, and emotion regulation. Both causes and consequences of these age differences will be presented, along with implications for individuals working with older adults. Objectives:
