“For the past 20 years, Susan Turk Charles, a psychologist at the University of California, Irvine, has been monitoring the shifting moods; the sense of satisfaction; the moments of contemplation; and the occasional outbursts of anger, sadness, and despair of people of all ages—with a special interest in how we handle and experience emotions as we [age]. She and her colleagues have found that ... older people have fewer but more satisfying social contacts and report higher emotional well-being.” (By Tim Vernimmen, May 11, 2021)
