Aging and the Intersection of Cognition, Motivation, and Emotion (2006, methodology): “Charles et al. (2003) controlled for a number of possible influencing variables.”
Spiritual Struggles and Psychological Distress: Is There a Dark Side of Religion? (2010, background): “Although the reasons for such a pattern are unclear, it is plausible that, per the ‘‘positivity bias’’ identified by Carstensen and her associates (e.g., Charles et al. 2003), older adults may tend to recall or reframe events in more positive terms than younger persons, and may be also be more…”
Cognition, Persuasion and Decision Making in Older Consumers (2005, background): “The results by Rahhal et al. (2002) are consistent with research showing that memory for emotional information, particularly for positive emotions, is preserved with age (Charles et al., 2003).”
Age-Related Differences in Responses to Emotional Advertisements (2005, result): “First, past studies have found that older (vs. younger) adults are less likely to recall negative images (e.g., Charles et al. 2003).”
Cognitive Neuroscience of Aging (2008, background): “Older adults may fail to show better memory for negative stimuli (Charles et al. 2003; Grady et al. 2007) and may make more errors in labeling the specific negative emotions in faces than do young adults (Calder et al. 2003; Keightley et al. 2006; MacPherson et al. 2002; McDowell et al. 1994;…”
Emotional intelligence predicts life skills, but not as well as personality and cognitive abilities (2005, methodology): “Previous research (e.g., Carstensen et al., 2000; Turk-Charles et al., 2003; Carstensen 1993, 1995) has suggested that emotional maturation is associated with”
Social and Emotional Aging (2010, background): “For example, in one study, older adults viewed positive, negative, and neutral images and were later asked to recall what they had seen and then to distinguish these images from newly presented items (Charles et al. 2003).”
Emotion regulation in depression: Examining the role of cognitive processes (2010, background): “Recent studies have demonstrated that memories of unpleasant, compared to pleasant events, fade faster and that this differential fading is associated with happiness (Walker, Skowronski, & Thompson, 2003 ), that recalling positive autobiographical memories can repair an induced negative mood state ”
Strength and Vulnerability Integration (SAVI): A Model of Emotional Well-Being Across Adulthood (2010, neutral): “In one study, for example, people viewed positive, negative, and neutral images and later were asked to recall what they had seen and to determine whether what they had viewed was different from a series of newly presented images (Charles et al., 2003).”
Cognition and Depression: Current Status and Future Directions (2010, background): “Further, recalling positive autobiographical memories can repair an induced negative mood state ( Joormann & Siemer 2004), and remembering positive events and forgetting negative events has been found to be associated with increased well-being over the lifespan (Charles et al. 2003).”
