This study explored the cognitive component of anxiety, hypervigilance to threat stimuli, among older and younger adults, and aimed to examine age-differences in the effects. Age differences are expected based on age-related changes in cognition and emotions. A novel mood induction technique was piloted for use with both age groups. Sixty-eight older adults and 71 younger adults were randomly assigned to neutral or anxious mood induction conditions, and then completed emotional Stroop and dot-probe tasks, designed to assess interference by distractors and attentional bias to threatening stimuli. Significant hypervigilance effects were found in older adults induced into an anxious mood. Hypervigilance was not replicated in the young sample, possibly due to weak differences between the neutral and anxious groups on post-induction mood. Results, if replicable, suggest that anxious older adults may be more hypervigilant to mood congruent threatening information than younger adults, and that anxious older adults may not use consciously mediated strategies to avoid threat content, seen in younger samples. The literature does not support increased rates of anxiety in older adults, leading to hypotheses about how anxiety-related attentional processes may differ by age. Theories about the role of hypervigilance in maintaining or increasing anxiety should acknowledge age-related differences in attention to emotion.
