Research in the Lifespan Personality and Health Laboratory focuses on:

  1. Lifespan personality development, including change, stability, and trajectory models of key traits
  2. The influence of personality–and personality change–on physical health, mortality, and other important life outcomes (such as income/net worth and well-being dimensions)

Our laboratory is associated with both the Northwestern University Department of Psychology as well as the Feinberg School of Medicine Department of Medical Social Sciences. We are supported by the National Institutes of Health through the National Institute on Aging, as well as additional sources. You can read more about our current research projects here.
