In a recent study (Jiang et al., 2016), people with limited future time perspective want to experience low arousal positive affect (e.g., calm).Do older people experiencing negative affect want to feel positive affect when they are alone?European Americans (N=69), Chinese Americans (N =68), and Hong Kong Chinese (N=113) participants (age range 17 to 83) used palm pilots to report their momentary actual affect and momentary ideal affect 5 times a day for a week.Regardless of age and culture, people feeling anxious (not sadness or boredom) wanted to feel happier when they were alone (vs. with other people).
