Broadly, my research focuses on socioemotional development and health across adulthood and in later life. I am especially interested in understanding stressor-health links, and how emotion regulation and coping capacities may modify these links across the lifespan. I also investigate how individual, cultural, and contextual factors may influence how stress responses and regulatory strategies (and their effectiveness) change with age. Another line of work examines how social interactions and relationships may differentially contribute to enhanced/diminished health and well-being. These research lines have important implications for promoting positive and healthy development across the lifespan.
