Sadnessin response to the emotionally-neutral, thematically-ambiguous film as a predictor of subjective well-being among young, middle-aged, and older adults.
Note. Unstandardized regression coefficients (B) shown. Error bars represent standard errors (SE(B)). Analyses were controlled for physiological activation, pre-film sadness, and gender. When using the individual physiological measures as covariates instead of the composite, the positive association between sadness and the ratio of positive to negative affect approached significance for older adults (B = .20, SE(B) = .11, p = .081).
*p < .05.
