Title: Older adult expertise in emotion regulation: Gains and costs.
Abstract:
Despite research that shows cognitive decline as we grow older, changes in emotion show a positive developmental trajectory. This talk will address two questions.
– What are the skills older adults possess and use when regulating their emotions?
– Under what conditions are older adults more effective and least effective at regulating their emotions?
This presentation is free and open to all! No pre-registration is needed.
