Znaczenie procesu starzenia się dla efektywności regulacji afektywnej w kontekście odbioru muzyki (przegląd badań)

Abstracts

PL

W niniejszym artykule skoncentrowano się na znaczeniu czynnika wieku dla efektywności regulacji afektywnej w kontekście odbioru muzyki w świetle przeglądu dotychczasowych badań. Liczne studia o tematyce pozamuzycznej potwierdzają, że osoby w okresie późnej dorosłości, doświadczające różnych trudności związanych z procesem starzenia, paradoksalnie cieszą się lepszym samopoczuciem na płaszczyźnie afektywnej niż osoby w okresie wczesnej dorosłości, które tych trudności nie doświadczają. Zjawisko to znajduje odzwierciedlenie także w większości wyników nielicznych przeprowadzonych dotychczas badań nad znaczeniem czynnika wieku dla reakcji afektywnych na muzykę. Biorąc pod uwagę wyniki większości tych badań, należy wskazać, że osoby w okresie późnej dorosłości są w stanie regulować własny stan afektywny w kontekście odbioru muzyki bardziej efektywnie niż osoby w okresie wczesnej dorosłości. Wspomniany fenomen może być interpretowany w odniesieniu do teorii z zakresu psychologii rozwojowej – Społeczno-emocjonalnej selektywności Carstensen (w tym do efektu pozytywności), a także w odniesieniu do Selektywnej optymalizacji z kompensacją Baltesa i Baltes.

The article focuses on the importance of the age factor for the effectiveness of affective regulation in the context of music perception in relation to the previous research review. Numerous non-musical studies confirm that older adults, experiencing various difficulties associated with the aging process, paradoxically enjoy better affective well-being in their everyday life than young adults, who do not experience the aforementioned difficulties. This phenomenon is also reflected in most of the results of the few studies conducted so far on the importance of the age factor for affective response to music. Taking into account the results of most of these studies, it should be pointed out that older adults are able to regulate their own affective state in the context of music perception more effectively than young adults. The above-mentioned phenomenon can be interpreted in relation to the developmental psychology theories – Socioemotional Selectivity Theory (including the positivity effect) by Carstensen, as well as to Selective Optimization with Compensation by Baltes and Baltes.
