Abstract
Older adults report greater trait mindfulness, reappraisal use, and negativity avoidance compared to younger adults. Mindfulness, reappraisal, and reduced negativity avoidance are associated in younger adulthood, yet relationships among factors across age remain unclear. This study will track how state mindfulness impacts negativity avoidance and reappraisal efficacy across age.
