Managing Emotionally Challenging Situations Comes With Age
Researchers from University of Alberta and Duke University have concluded that managing emotional situations really comes with age. They have identified brain patterns that can help older people to control emotion better than younger adults. In people with over the age of 60, the two regions in the brain are increased in activity when emotionally challenging situations were presented. Older people are better able to manage how much attention they should pay to negative situations. Therefore they’re less upset by them.
