老年阶段是情感需求较为突出的时期，老年教育以提升老年人情感体验为主要目标之一。基于情感计算技术分析老年人情感并选择性地进行教育干预，对于促进老年人实现积极老龄化具有重要意义。在线学习为分析老年人情感提供了便捷、大规模的自然场景。文章以32位老年在线学习者为对象，采用聚类分析、时间序列分析及滞后序列分析方法进行探索式研究，发现了如下情感规律：第一，老年人的元情感中，以中性为主，悲伤情感次之，其他类型情感相对较少；老年人的抑郁倾向比一般人群要高。第二，通过绘制老年人的时间情感图谱发现，老年人情感类型可划分为平静、焦虑、愉快、厌烦和严肃五种，其中，严肃类型占比最多，愉快类型占比最少。第三，分析不同类型老年人的情感转移规律发现，焦虑类型老年人出现悲伤与愤怒、悲伤与惧怕之间双向循环的负面情感转移，而其他类型老年人中未发现类似现象，因此，焦虑类型老年人应成为老年教育干预的重点对象。
【英文摘要】：
The elderly stage is a period when emotional needs are relatively prominent. Senior education aims mainly at enhancing the emotional experience of the elderly. Aanalyzing the emotions of old adults based on affective computing technology and implementing targeted educational interventions are of great significance for promoting old adults to achieve active aging. Online learning provides a natural scenario for convenient and large-scale analysis of the emotions of old adults. Taking 32 older adult online learners as the subjects, cluster analysis, time series analysis and lag series analysis methods are used to conduct exploratory research and find the following affective patterns. First, among the meta-emotions of older adults, neutral emotions predominate, followed by sadness, while other types of emotions are relatively less prevalent; moreover, older adults exhibit higher depressive tendencies compared to the general population. Second, by drawing a temporal-emotional mapping for older adults, it is found that the emotional states of older adults can be categorized into five types: calmness, anxiety, joyfulness, boredom and seriousness, with seriousness predominating in prevalence and joyfulness being the least prevalent. Third, the analysis of affective transition dynamics among different types of old adults reveals that those with anxiety exhibit a bidirectional cycle of negative affective transitions between sadness and anger, as well as between sadness and fear, a phenomenon not observed in other types of old adults. Therefore, old adults with anxiety should be the key targets for educational interventions.
