This longitudinal-sequential study continues to examine the principle of dynamic integration that underlies affect-cognition relations throughout the adult life span and further elaborates it by interfacing relatively macrolevel, psychometric/personological evidence with more micro-level and process-oriented analyses. Rather than defining success in emotion regulation as the maximization of positive and minimization of negative affect, or affect optimization, optimal regulation is characterized as a dynamic coordination of affect optimization with cognitive-affective complexity, or a concern with a complex and objective description of emotion-relevant issues. Deviations from such dynamic integration can occur when processing resources are restricted either as a result of normative cognitive changes related to age, or of socio-emotional restrictions such a poor regulation styles. Under such restrictions, individuals will opt for one of the modes to the exclusion of the other, resulting in less well-regulated behavior. A total of 337 European Americans and African Americans aged 20 to 98 will undergo an extensive battery of measures related to affect, cognition, social context, well-being, and health in Phase 1 of the study. This Phase extends the core longitudinal study and examines the developmental course of the modes, their stability over time, and their antecedents and adaptive outcomes on a relatively macro-analytical level. Phase 2 and 3 add to Phase 1 a more micro-analytical and experimental examination of how individuals organize representations about self and other, and how these representations are affected by exposure to threatening emotions. In Phase 3, finally, 120 individuals from the total population will be selected to participate in an experience sampling study examining variability and covariation of emotions across a relatively short time interval of 1 week. Phase 1 longitudinal analyses using multi-group hierarchical linear modeling will focus on analyzing patterns of change in the regulation modes as well as identifying sources of individual differences in change. For Parts 2 and 3, parameters derived from these analyses will be interfaced with evidence about specific mechanisms gleaned from more micro-level process study and sampling of daily affective experience. Overall, this study will make a significant contribution towards examining linkages between emotion regulation and patterns of psychological and physical aging, as well as identifying social and psychological mechanisms that are involved in individual differences in rates of aging.

这项纵向顺序研究继续检验整个成人生命周期中情感认知关系的动态整合原理，并通过将相对宏观的心理测量/人格学证据与更微观和面向过程的分析相结合来进一步阐述它。情绪调节的成功不是将情绪调节的成功定义为积极情绪的最大化和消极情绪的最小化，或者情绪优化，而是将情绪调节的特征描述为情绪优化与情绪优化的动态协调。 认知情感复杂性，或对情感相关问题的复杂而客观的描述的关注。当处理资源由于与年龄相关的规范认知变化或社会情感限制（例如不良的调节方式）而受到限制时，就会发生这种动态整合的偏差。在这种限制下，个人会选择其中一种模式而排除另一种模式，从而导致监管不那么严格 行为。 在该研究的第一阶段，共有 337 名年龄在 20 岁至 98 岁的欧洲裔美国人和非裔美国人将接受一系列与情感、认知、社会背景、幸福感和健康相关的广泛测量。这一阶段扩展了核心纵向研究，并在相对宏观的分析层面上考察了这些模式的发展历程、其随时间的稳定性、前因和适应性结果。第 2 阶段和第 3 阶段在第 1 阶段的基础上增加了对个人如何组织表征的更微观分析和实验检查。 自我和他人，以及这些表征如何受到威胁情绪的影响。最后，在第 3 阶段，将从总人口中选择 120 人参加一项经验抽样研究，检查 1 周相对较短的时间间隔内情绪的变异性和协变性。使用多组分层线性模型的第一阶段纵向分析将重点分析监管模式的变化模式以及识别变化中个体差异的来源。对于第 2 部分和第 3 部分， 从这些分析中得出的参数将与从更微观的过程研究和日常情感体验采样中收集到的具体机制的证据相结合。总体而言，这项研究将为研究情绪调节与心理和身体衰老模式之间的联系，以及确定与衰老速度个体差异有关的社会和心理机制做出重大贡献。
