Key Points

This research aims to explore how anxiety and depressive symptoms affect the connection between cognitive reappraisal and financial exploitation vulnerability in older adults.
Analyzed the relationship between cognitive reappraisal and financial exploitation vulnerability.
Assessed the moderating effects of anxiety and depression on this relationship.
Utilized emotion regulation interventions focused on older adults.
Financial exploitation vulnerability is linked to cognitive reappraisal.
Higher anxiety levels increase vulnerability; depressive symptoms also play a role.
Emotion regulation strategies may be more beneficial for older adults with lower anxiety.

Implication

Research shows emotional factors influence financial exploitation risk in older adults, suggesting intervention strategies.

Abstract

FE vulnerability was associated with cognitive reappraisal and moderated by anxiety and depression. Emotion regulation interventions may reduce FE vulnerability, particularly among older adults with lower anxiety or higher depressive symptoms.
