My research interests are concerned with changes in social behavior, emotion regulation, and cognition that occur during adulthood and ageing. I am also interested in psychosocial characteristics that contribute to effective self-regulation and development over the lifespan.
Potential PhD Projects:
(1) Age differences in emotional reactivity to daily stressors (a PhD scholarship commensurate with APA rates is available for this project)
(2) A pattern-centred analysis of social network characteristics in adulthood and ageing
(3) Interrelations in characteristics of ageing well among older spouses
