Abstract

This laboratory-based study examined associations between generativity and autonomic physiology in response to affiliation, achievement, and power film clips in younger and older adults. Generativity was associated with (1) lower baseline levels and (2) lower levels of downregulation after the power film clip for skin conductance (but not heart rate).
