Negative Emotions in the ElderlyIntroductionIt is not clear why the elderly are more sensitive to negative information than young people. Numerous studies state that emotion regulation increases with age. The primary goal of this proposal is to examine emotional differences between older and younger adults regarding novel and non-novel emotional experiences. It's not just a question of age, but also of memory and attention. It is clear that memory and attention are two factors in emotion regulation and both change with age. Attention and perception are the initial stages of stimulus processing, which include factors that influence downstream cognitive functions, such as memory and reasoning (Phelps, 2006). Therefore, an older participant will have sadder reactions than younger ones because he or she has a greater reserve of knowledge about the event. To examine this, a case study was conducted. The methods of conducting the study include eye-tracking technologies, different images as stimuli, and questionnaires as important tools for measuring participants' emotions. Emotion regulation, memory, attention, perception and the relevance of events are the important areas of interest that will be addressed in the study. Emotion regulation is not always an easy task. As people age, their bodily health worsens and becomes weaker. They also tend to experience negative situations beyond their control, such as the death of loved ones or illnesses in cases extremes. Increased exposure to such losses may sensitize older adults to loss-related issues by increasing the reactivity of sadness to events involving loss ( Seider, Shiota, Whalen, & Levenson, 2010 ). As experiences of this type of information have increased, they have become useless in... half of the paper ......focused primarily on a population full of healthy young and older adults rather than including those with good and poor health and even those who are not educated. Future studies should include all categories to obtain more accurate results. Conclusions Older people tend to react negatively to information that has a negative emotional impact on them, especially as they easily forget the same information (Brien, 2006). This is because adults have a different mental focus, which primarily emphasizes emotional meaning rather than any other reward. Young adults reported improvements in controlling negative emotions and avoiding encoding negative emotional content. With such findings, information with positive emotional relevance will continue to thrive while negative emotional information will continue to decline with aging.
