So happy to see this article appear in print! We examined historical changes in #midlife mental and physical health in the US, Australia, Germany, South Korea, and Mexico. 1/n.

Our research illustrates that people feel lonelier in some countries than others during midlife. It also sheds light on reasons this may be occurring and how governments can address it with better policies.

Middle-aged Americans are lonelier than European counterparts. In press in American Psychologist. #midlife #loneliness.

Rest in peace my dear friend. Your spirit will live on through the many lives you touched.

Another thing I will carry forward is how Suniya pushed me and others to think about how to best communicate research findings to a broader audience. We always discussed the importance of conducting research that could benefit the greater good of society.

Whenever I needed someone to talk to about research and professional development, she always made herself available. Assistant Professor life can be tough and challenging. She was always there for me, looking out for me and providing wonderful advice.

When I first shared with Suniya the findings from our 2016 paper, we wrote the paper in 6 weeks. It was a whirlwind. We had nonstop discussions and met several times a week to discuss how to best communicate our findings.

I am forever grateful for Suniya’s friendship and mentorship. We had so many lively, engaging and wonderful discussions on research and the importance of family. The papers we published on #resilience from 2016-2018 will hold a special place in my heart.

Our cross-national research showing that middle-aged adults in the US show poorer mental health compared to other nations provides insights on how to promote a prosperous midlife:

We elaborate on how midlife is a time of opportunity here:

This article provides a nuanced perspective on the supposed midlife crisis and u-shape of happiness:

Midlife is not all doom and gloom. It is also a time of opportunity that includes, but is not limited to, career advancement, fulfilling relationships with family and friends and involvement in the community.

We also have data from an intensive longitudinal design where we assessed middle-aged adults monthly for 2 years.

Here is information on an exciting new project my colleagues and I are in the beginning phases of that will examine cross-national differences in #midlife health, well-being and cognition.

I will be recruiting a graduate student to start in fall 2023. If you are interested in research on #resilience and #midlife #development, please consider applying. You can also learn more about the ASU PhD program in Developmental Psychology at our informational webinar on 9/30.

One of many ways I celebrated receiving the NOA for my R01 this week. This grant was ND on the first two submissions, so I guess third time’s a charm. Very excited to begin work on this project examining cross-national differences in #midlife health, well-being and cognition.

Does anyone else get jealous when they email someone and get an automatic reply saying they’re on sabbatical? @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter.

From the abstract: An analysis of empirical posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) data is provided to show that the typical four-class solution found in many empirical PTSD studies may be an artifact of the covariance equality constraint method that has permeated this literature.
