Positive self- and emotional development is often measured by optimization of happiness, but a second aspect of positive development—the ability to tolerate tension and negativity in the interest of maintaining objective representations—needs to be integrated with this hedonic emphasis. The integration of these two aspects, optimization and differentiation, reflects a dynamic balance. Such integration is possible when emotional activation or arousal is moderate, but is impaired at very high…

Emotions and Aging
Emotional Experience Across Adulthood
Strength and vulnerability integration (SAVI) is a theoretical model that predicts changes in emotional experience across adulthood. A growing number of studies find that as people age, they become…
Dynamic Integration of Emotion and Cognition: Equilibrium Regulation in Development and Aging
In this chapter, we propose an equilibrium theory of emotion-cognition relations spanning the life span from birth to late life. The theory adopts a neo-Piagetian view of emotions as developing from…
Self-with-other representations and the organization of the self
Emotion regulation in interpersonal problems: the role of cognitive-emotional complexity, emotion regulation goals, and expressivity.
TLDR
Results suggest that age differences in emotion regulation are partially due to older adults' decreased ability to integrate emotion and cognition, increased prioritization of emotion regulation goals, and decreased tendency to express anger.
Age differences in dynamical emotion-cognition linkages.
TLDR
The authors examined the dynamical linkages among positive emotion, negative emotion, and cognition as individuals performed a complex cognitive task to derive implications for age differences in emotion regulatory strategies.
What are mixed emotions and what conditions foster them? Life-span experiences, culture and social awareness

TLDR
It is suggested that not endorsing conservation value as one grows older and experiences different life events is beneficial for wisdom.
Development of affect and affective stability in adulthood: Nonlinear age-related differences in daily life
Our objective was to highlight age-related differences in subjective affect and its variations between adolescence and old age in an ecological environment, running generalized additive models to…
A componential emotion approach for the assessment of emotional awareness in youth.
TLDR
Reliability, internal structure, and nomological network supported the adaptations of the LEAS-C on the basis of the componential emotion approach, and the expected relationship with age was found, with stronger correlations for the comp exponential than the original scoring procedure.

In this research, the authors hypothesize that affect regulation involves 2 independent strategies: affect optimization, the tendency to constrain affect to positive values, and affect complexity,…
On happiness and human potentials: a review of research on hedonic and eudaimonic well-being.
TLDR
This review considers research from both perspectives concerning the nature of well-being, its antecedents, and its stability across time and culture.
Speaking about feelings: conceptions of emotion across the life span.
TLDR
Findings suggest that understanding of emotions develops along a dimension of cognitive complexity over the life span, which is related to life span changes in coping and defense.
Three paths of adult development: conservers, seekers, and achievers.
TLDR
Identity at age 43 mediated the influence of personality at age 21 in predicting positive mental health pattern at age 60 and each was predicted by distinctive features of positive and negative emotionality, identity processes, and change in self-control across 31 years of adulthood.

A dynamic complexity model is used to explain some effects of emotional arousal on retrieval of social information. Two hypotheses are presented: (1) emotional arousal reduces the cognitive…
Representations of self across the life span.
TLDR
It is suggested that mature adults move from representations of self that are relatively poorly differentiated from others or social conventions to ones that involve emphasis on process, context, and individuality.
