Abstract

With the global aging of the population, the importance of understanding the characteristics and mechanisms of developmental changes in later life has grown. The present study explored age-related differences in the effect of emotion on judgments of learning (JOLs) in Chinese participants and delved deeper into the mechanisms underlying this effect. Experiment 1 observed that older participants showed a positivity effect on JOLs, whereas young participants demonstrated an emotional salience effect on JOLs, reflecting age-related differences in the effect of emotion on JOLs. To investigate the mechanisms underlying these age-related differences, Experiment 2 measured participants' metamemory beliefs about the effect of emotion on memory and found that older participants held a belief of the positivity effect, whereas young participants possessed a belief of the emotional salience effect. Experiment 3 collected data of beliefs and JOLs from the same participants and provided further evidence highlighting the contribution of metamemory beliefs to age-related differences in the effect of emotion on JOLs. These findings are essential for advancing the theoretical framework of metamemory and for extending lifespan theory of socioemotional selectivity.

元记忆信念对情绪对学习判断影响的年龄相关差异的贡献。

随着全球人口老龄化的加剧，了解老年人发育变化的特征和机制的重要性日益凸显。本研究探讨了情绪对中国被试学习判断影响的年龄差异，并深入探讨了这种影响的机制。实验1观察到，年龄较大的被试对工作表现出积极的影响，而年轻的被试对工作表现出情绪的显著性影响，反映了情绪对工作的影响在年龄上的差异。为了探究这些年龄相关差异背后的机制，实验2测量了被试对情绪对记忆影响的元记忆信念，发现年长被试相信积极效应，而年轻被试相信情绪显著效应。实验3收集了来自同一参与者的信念和工作满意度数据，进一步证明了元记忆信念对情绪对工作满意度影响的年龄相关差异的贡献。这些发现对于推进元记忆的理论框架和延长社会情绪选择性的寿命理论具有重要意义。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。

期刊介绍： Psychology and Aging publishes original articles on adult development and aging. Such original articles include reports of research that may be applied, biobehavioral, clinical, educational, experimental (laboratory, field, or naturalistic studies), methodological, or psychosocial. Although the emphasis is on original research investigations, occasional theoretical analyses of research issues, practical clinical problems, or policy may appear, as well as critical reviews of a content area in adult development and aging. Clinical case studies that have theoretical significance are also appropriate. Brief reports are acceptable with the author"s agreement not to submit a full report to another journal.
