Research suggests that calmness and excitement are two positive emotions with distinct functions and that calmness, but not excitement, supports effective adjustment to developmental constraints in old age, particularly when control perceptions are low. In the present research, we conducted a 1-week daily diary study with 169 community-dwelling older adults (Mage = 76.6, SD = 7.2). Data were collected in 2018. We examined the effects of calmness and excitement intensity (between- and within-person differences) and variability within the context of stressful experiences on older adults' well-being and health. We expected that levels, increases, and consistency (i.e., low variability) of calmness, but not excitement, may be adaptive, particularly among older adults with low control perceptions. Results from hierarchical and linear regression models showed that calmness intensity was associated with better well-being and health, on both the between- and within-person levels. Between-person levels of excitement intensity, by contrast, predicted poorer health and depressive symptoms among individuals with low perceived control. Compared to variable calmness, consistent calmness was associated with adaptive outcomes, particularly for older adults with low perceived control. By contrast, excitement variability was largely unrelated to well-being and health, except for a positive association with depressive symptoms among adults with low control. Findings inform functional theories of emotion by suggesting that positive emotions with disparate motivational functions can exert diverging effects in older adulthood.

The alternative perceptual factors account proposes that salient perceptual features inherent to angry and happy faces drive these search asymmetries. As emotional and perceptual factors are intrinsically confounded in emotional faces, it has proven difficult to distinguish between the two accounts. In the present experiments, we distinguished between the two accounts by manipulating participant mood across three different conditions (neutral, angry, and happy), and asked participants to locate a variable emotional (angry or happy) target face. Eye-tracking measures revealed a significant mood-congruency effect for search efficiency, where fewer fixations were required to locate a mood-congruent target than a mood-incongruent target.

In a preregistered online study, participants completed a set of tasks in which they matched a cue image with one of two probe images based on similarity of affective experience. In a discrete emotion version of the task, the cue and target probe matched on a discrete emotion category while controlling for valence. In a valence version of the task, the cue and target probe matched on valence (i.e., pleasantness or unpleasantness). We further varied the degree of abstraction such that some judgments crossed semantic categories (e.g., a house cue with animal probes). Accuracy, as indexed by the proportion of choices that accorded with norms, predicted trait measures of alexithymia, depression, and autism quotient with medium effect sizes. We conducted an integrative data analysis by including data from three other (nonpreregistered) samples (N = 435) and found substantial moderation by sampling population (Amazon Mechanical Turk, college students) and partial moderation by gender identity. Additional constraints on generalization include that our sample included predominantly White American adults between the ages of 23 and 64.

Multilevel lagged analyses adjusting for positive emotions, negative emotions, neuroticism, and demographic variability found that mixed emotions were not associated with next-moment physical well-being or next-day social well-being, but were associated with poorer next-day physical health. Reverse pathways in which physical well-being and social well-being on each day predicted reduced mixed emotions on subsequent days were also supported, though the comparable pathway at the moment level was not significant. Moderation analyses further found that whereas adverse life events reported in the previous month did not moderate the associations of mixed emotions with well-being, there were significant interaction terms between moment-level mixed emotions with stressful events reported at the moment predicting next-moment well-being, as well as between day-level mixed emotions with stressful events reported that day predicting next-day physical health. Simple slope analyses found that mixed emotions were associated with poorer next-moment physical well-being and next-day physical health only when stressful events were not reported. We discuss the implications of these findings for conceptualizations of mixed emotions and the potential role of stress as a contextual factor that may alter how mixed emotions are linked to downstream outcomes.

While older adults are known to preferentially process positive information and appreciate humor, no study has investigated whether the effect of humor on memory persists in aging. Two studies were conducted to address this gap. In Study 1, 19 younger adults and 20 older adults performed a memory task designed to compare the recall of humorous and neutral photograph sequences. Results revealed the typical beneficial effect of humor on free recall in young adults, while in older adults, humor had no influence on free recall and even a detrimental effect in the cued recall task, suggesting that humor primarily affects encoding processes. Study 2 aimed to replicate these findings and further investigate the mechanisms underlying this negative effect in older adults (i.e., the effect of humor per se or confounding incongruity effect). To this end, 37 younger adults and 38 older adults completed a similar task, now featuring three different photograph sequences (humorous, incongruous and neutral). Older adults exhibited no further effect of humor on memory when incongruity was controlled, whereas younger adults continued to recall humorous photographs better than neutral ones, in the two retrieval conditions. As expected, older adults also showed a negative effect of incongruity on memory, consistent with the inefficiency of their binding processes. Taken together, these studies show that the positive effect of humor on memory disappears in aging, owing to the inherent incongruity of humorous stimuli, combined with an associative memory deficit.

In a dyadic study of romantic couples (N = 235 couples and 6,411 daily observations), daily relatedness predicted more positive world beliefs 1 year later. Specifically, positive interactions with close ties (i.e., familiar and close interaction partners), romantic relationship satisfaction, and perceived partner responsiveness contributed to these shifts. However, the quality of interactions with weak ties (i.e., unfamiliar or distant partners) did not predict changes in world beliefs. Moreover, positive changes in world beliefs partially explained the prospective effects of daily relatedness on greater well-being and lower depressed affect over the year. These findings provide novel support for retrospective models of world belief change, highlighting the role of everyday interpersonal experiences in shaping fundamental views of the world.

Although distinct emotions convey various needs and elicit different responses between romantic partners, research on empathic accuracy-its patterns, underlying processes and relational consequences-across a spectrum of discrete emotions directed towards the partner or the relationship remains sparse. This study employed a 35-day dyadic daily diary design to examine empathic accuracy in couples, focusing on seven emotions (joy, feeling loved, anger, contempt, sadness, fear, and guilt) while also investigating the reliance on bias of assumed similarity, the moderating role of the target's social sharing, and the links between empathic accuracy and perceived partner responsiveness (PPR). The sample included 327 couples who reported on their own emotions, their perceptions of their partner's emotions, their perceptions of their own social sharing and their perception of their partner's responsiveness. Results showed that partners tend to hold a slight negativity bias when inferring each other's emotions. However, most are adept at tracking changes in their partner's emotions, especially when partners verbalize how they are feeling, and they strongly rely on their own emotions to make such inferences. In addition, the intensity of felt or perceived emotions-rather than empathic accuracy-were associated with PPR, though some distinct patterns emerged across emotions. These results provide partial support for error-management theory and highlight the importance of examining emotions beyond valence, as both similarities and distinctions emerge in patterns of empathic accuracy and their links to relational outcomes.

The same pattern of findings was obtained in both data sets. Anger, disgust, and sadness were perceived as highly salient in expectations about pain facial expressions. Most importantly, three clusters of participants with distinct expectations were found.

According to theory and initial empirical studies in adults, individual differences in the trait of environmental sensitivity have been associated with emotion recognition, but this has not been studied in highly sensitive children yet. Highly sensitive children are generally understood to perceive and process environmental stimuli, including social ones, more easily and deeply than other children. We hypothesized that highly sensitive children would perform better in an objective emotion recognition task and be rated as more socially competent compared to low sensitive children. Ninety-seven 7- to 9-year-old U.K. primary school children (47% girls) completed the Reading the Mind in the Eyes test's child version on a computer one-on-one with a researcher during school hours on school premises. Teachers rated children's sensitivity using the Highly Sensitive Child in School scale and also reported on children's social competence. Children completed the Highly Sensitive Child scale. The data were collected in 2022. Teacher-reported sensitivity emerged as a significant predictor of the Reading the Mind in the Eyes test's child version and social competence, while child-reported sensitivity was not associated with emotion recognition. Teacher-reported overstimulation of children was negatively associated with social competence. This study is the first to report links between children's environmental sensitivity, emotion recognition skills, and social competence. Findings are consistent with theories on environmental sensitivity and highlight the potential benefits of high sensitivity but will need to be replicated in more ethnically diverse samples.
