Abstract: Objectives. Negative social interactions are the most frequently reported daily stressors and most detrimental for well-being, yet we know little about older adults’ efforts to regulate their emotional reactions to such encounters. This study examined age differences in emotional reactions to social encounters and the implications of these reactions for daily well-being.
