The effect of age on emotion regulation patterns in daily life
The present experience sampling study investigated the effect of age on emotion regulation patterns (i.e., emotion regulation strategy effectiveness, variability, and differentiation) in daily life. The study further explored the implications of potential age differences in emotion regulation patterns for well‐being. A sample of 406 adults (age range: 18–81, 62.8% female) were prompted five times a day for seven days to rate momentary emotions, e…
Comparing negative emotion differentiation in young and older individuals
Life span theories suggest that emotional experiences become more complex (i.e., nuanced and differentiated) with age. Theoretically, the cause of this increased complexity has been proposed to be age‐related changes in life contexts such as goals and daily stressors. Consequently, age may not affect emotional complexity in settings where the influence of age‐specific life contexts is reduced. However, this hypothesis has yet to be explored. In t…
One-year stability in life story chapters and memories among emerging, middle-aged, and older adults
We examined 1-year stability of life story chapters and memories. In addition, we examined age differences in stability. At baseline and 1 year later, 70 emerging, 60 middle-aged, and 59 older participants described up to 10 chapters and 10 memories (in counterbalanced order). Participants self-rated chapters/memories on emotional tone, self-change connections, and self-stability connections. Chapters/memories were content coded for stability bet…
Integrating a Patient-Controlled Admission Program Into Mental Health Hospital Service
Patient-controlled admissions (PCAs) enable mental health patients by means of a contract to initiate an admission at a mental health hospital unit without using traditional admission procedures. This study was part of a 3-year Danish multicenter project, and we explored how mental health professionals experienced and managed the implementation of a PCA program. The methodology was grounded theory and the sample included 26 participants. We perfo…
Negative Thoughts and Health
Objective: In the present study, it was tested whether rumination—negative, recurrent thoughts—would be associated with immune parameters and health care utilization. Because rumination has been associated with sadness and subjective sleep quality, it was tested whether these factors mediated the possible effects of rumination. A young sample and an elderly sample were included to test for age differences in the association between rumination and…
