In Japan, the aging rate is increasing every year, and as of 2021, the percentage of the total population aged 65 and over will be 28.9%, making it increasingly important to analyze the behavior of the elderly in all aspects of their lives. As a theory of motivation, Carstensen proposes the socioemotional selectivity theory. This theory states that people are motivated by positive emotions when their remaining time is short, and it applies well to the elderly. However, it is unclear what factors influence this theory. Therefore, based on the Socioemotional selectivity theory, we aimed to construct a new decision-making model that takes into account the emotions of the elderly, based on existing decision-making theories and theories that include emotions. Finally, in this study, objective validity was assessed through interviews.
