Abstract

Abstract. Little is known about how people perceive the affective well-being of older and younger adults. In four studies, we compare other- and self-reported trait affect from participants who varied in adult age and familiarity. Our prediction that older adults would be rated by other persons as having poorer well-being than their self-report was not supported. Rather, we found that younger persons were thought by familiar older adults to have better well-being than the young persons reported about themselves; this was not the case for younger familiar raters. Unfamiliar younger adults were rated by younger and older participants as having greater arousal affect than unfamiliar older adults. Misperceptions of well-being may interfere with cross-generation communication and social interactions.
年轻人和老年人对熟悉和不熟悉的人的情感报告
摘要关于人们如何感知老年人和年轻人的情感幸福感,我们知之甚少。在四项研究中,我们比较了不同年龄和熟悉程度的参与者的其他和自我报告的特质影响。我们预测,其他人会认为老年人的幸福感比他们自己报告的要差,但这一预测没有得到支持。相反,我们发现,熟悉的老年人认为年轻人比年轻人报告的自己更幸福;这与年轻的熟悉的评级者不同。年轻和年长的参与者都认为不熟悉的年轻人比不熟悉的老年人有更大的唤醒效应。对幸福的误解可能会干扰代际交流和社会互动。
