This study examines how personality and emotion regulation influence the relationship between ageism and psychological wellbeing in older adults.
Analyzed two cross-sectional studies focusing on ageism, psychological wellbeing, and personality traits.
Assessed the effects of emotion regulation strategies and their difficulties on ageism-wellbeing associations.
Explored moderation effects of engaged and disengaged cognitive change strategies.
Findings indicate that age-based discrimination and internalized ageism negatively impact wellbeing.
Extraversion, neuroticism, and emotion regulation difficulties did not moderate ageism-wellbeing associations.
Engaged and disengaged cognitive change strategies lessened the negative impact of internalized ageism on environmental mastery.

Wininger et al. (2026) studied this question.
