TL;DR: The authors show that the perception of time is malleable, and social goals change in both younger and older people when time constraints are imposed and suggest potential implications for multiple subdisciplines and research interests.

TL;DR: In this article, eye tracking was used to record visual fixation in nearly real-time to investigate whether older individuals show a positivity effect in their visual attention to emotional information, and older adults showed an attentional preference toward happy faces and away from angry ones; the only preference shown by young adults was toward afraid faces.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that selective attention to positive information reflects emotion regulation and that regulating attention is a critical component of the emotion regulatory process, and that attentional regulation can be successfully trained through repeated practice.

TL;DR: It is suggested that older adults were less accurate at identifying emotions than were young adults, but the pattern differed across emotions and task types, and implications for age-related changes in different types of emotional processing are discussed.

TL;DR: Type of measurement appeared to influence the magnitude of effects; recognition studies indicated significant age effects, where older adults showed smaller effects for emotion salience and negativity preferences than younger adults.
