Domain-specific¶
- Positivity Effect
- Attentional measures — older adults show reduced dot-probe and gaze-tracking bias to negative faces and increased dwell on positive ones, the canonical Mather & Carstensen demonstration. Memory — better recall and recognition for positive autobiographical and stimulus material in older versus younger adults. Decision-making — older adults sample less negative information and weight positive attributes more heavily in consumer choices. Emotional well-being research — elevated late-life satisfaction despite objective decline is attributed in part to the effect, organizing the age-by-satisfaction curve
