AB - This study investigated age differences in facial and verbal ex pressions during autobiographical memory narration and examined their associations with subjectiv e well-being. Participants included 34 young adults ( M = 22.18) and 31 older adults ( M = 75.94). They recalled emotional life events and completed a subjective well-being scale. Facial expressions wer e coded using the Facial Expression Coding System (FACES), and verbal expressions were evaluated us ing the Autobiographical Interview (AI) rating system. Both facial and verbal expressions were cla ssified as positive or negative. The results showed that older adults displayed a higher frequency o f negative facial emotional expressions, whereas young adults produced more verbal emotional expressions . Emotional expression was associated with subjective well-being among young adults. These findings suggest that emotional expression may differ depending on the expression channel and m ay be related to personal well-being.
Implications, limitations, and directions for future research a re discussed.
