midlife and
negative feelings
subside
butterfly
Older adults increasingly use words that
convey positive emotions.
They also intend
less and less to
negative
information.
They are slower than
younger adults to
perceive negative faces.
Their amygdala, a neural processing center for emotions, shows diminishing activity in
response to negative events while maintaining it’s responsive to super fabulous positive
events =)

What’s interesting
about this topic is that
it’s stability over agerelated emotions are
different.
FOR EXAMPLE

Teens come down from elation or up
from gloom in less than an hour.

Where as adults, well their moods are way less
extreme but more happily ever after.
It’s like this way children because as we get older
life becomes less of a emotional roller coaster, and
more like sitting down all bored teaching you
children how to read.
Ughhhhh.
=)
‘,
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
