Aging and negative affect: The rise and fall of anxiety and depression symptoms
Article Abstract:
The measures of neuroticism, anxiety, and depression symptoms in a cross-sectional, community sample were examined to evaluate a nonlinear model of the relationship between aging and negative affect. The results indicated a curvilinear relationship, with mean symptom levels increasing during early adulthood and then showing a small decline until older adulthood, when symptoms again increase with age.

Aging and symptoms of anxiety and depression: Structural invariance of the tripartite model
Article Abstract:
The structural variance of anxiety and depression symptoms across adulthood is examined in a cross-sectional sample using three nested models. Results suggest that the tripartite model incorporating the structure of negative affect, anxious arousal and low positive affect is remarkably invariant across adulthood.
