Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is not completely accurate. While some studies have shown that anxiety may increase with age, other studies have found no significant change or even a decrease in anxiety with age. Hostility may also decrease with age. Additionally, while some studies have found a decrease in the ability to control fear with age, others have found no change. Finally, while some studies have found a decrease in positive emotions with age, others have found no significant change or even an increase in happiness with age. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that anxiety and hostility always increase, control over fear always lessens, and resistance to happiness always increases with age.
