Older adults often recall less negative information than young adults. In this study, we examined the effect of culture on this age-related positivity effect and the influence of view of aging on emotional memory. We found that Chinese older adults held the most positive stereotype of aging, followed by Hong Kong, and then the US. These culturally-bound views of aging, however, did not directly influence participants’ emotional memory patterns. US and Chinese participants showed an age-related positivity effect, while Hong Kong participants did not.
