Emotion regulation and successful aging

Gaurav Suri et al. Trends Cogn Sci. 2012 Aug.

Abstract

Despite normative declines in old age, healthy elderly typically report surprisingly high levels of well-being. It is not clear why this is so. A study by Brassen and colleagues suggests that one factor may be reduced responsiveness to regret. These findings highlight the role of emotion regulation in successful aging.
