Emotional Processing & Older People

Emotional
processing & |
For those born between the first and second world wars, the stiff upper lip, doing your duty and keeping your feelings to yourself were virtues which seem to have changed (since the sixties) with successive generations.
Do
older people retain ways of coping with emotion developed early in their
lives, or does their emotional style change to reflect society around
them? Is there something intrinsic about aging that changes the way
in which emotional processing occurs? Are there less opportunities
for emotional expression as age increases?
