Race crossover refers to the phenomenon in which the mortality rates of different racial groups cross at a certain age, meaning that one group may have higher mortality rates at younger ages but lower mortality rates at older ages. In this case, the oldest-old African Americans are outliving the oldest-old European Americans, which is a form of race crossover. The other answer choices do not accurately describe this phenomenon. The happiness paradox refers to the finding that subjective well-being does not decline as people age, despite declines in physical and cognitive functioning. The positivity effect refers to the tendency for older adults to remember and focus on positive information more than negative information.
