    Older adults were found to be equally adept at identifying people judged to be trustworthy or neutral, but they were much more likely to miss signs of those who may be untrustworthy.

    研究顯示老人與年輕人一樣善於辨認值得信任或中立的人，只是卻無法接收到辨認不值得信任的信號。

    We believe what is going on is that older adults have a bias toward positive emotional experience and this keeps them from recognizing negative cues, Dr. Taylor said.

    Dr. Taylor表示：我們相信實情是老人們對正向情感經驗有偏見導致他們無法認出負面信號。

    This so-called positivity effect has been documented through research by Laura Carstensen, a professor of psychology and public policy at Stanford, and it explains why older adults are, on the whole, happier than younger adults.

    這種所謂的正向情緒反應是由Laura Carstensen 所領導研究並記載在案，他是Stanford大學心理學及公共政策教授。這份研究說明了為何老人們，整體而言，比年輕人更開心。

    Dr. Taylor advises that senior never agree immediately to an offer：Hang up or wait and get someone else involved in your life to evaluate what is being presented.

    Dr. Taylor建議老人千萬不要立即答應一個邀請或提議。等一等，讓與你關係密切的人先替你評估一下呈現在你面前的到底是甚麼。

 

後記：因為牙根管發炎，我從上星期四起開始發燒，最嚴重時高燒至39.7，期間看了兩次牙醫又吞了許多普拿疼卻一直無法退燒，一直到昨晚改去西園換醫師換藥，高燒終於退了。發燒期間甚麼都不能作，躺在床上時清醒時頭痛，這篇驛文是我在發燒期間躺在床上完成的，第一篇出自開始發燒時，此刻高燒剛退我正好出最後一篇，說起來也算是這次生病的另類收穫了。
