Welcome to the PARA Lab! 

The PARA Lab is dedicated to examining the psychosocial mechanisms of resilience and healthy aging facing stressors in adulthood. Particularly, we explore how intergenerational relationships may promote and/or hinder the pathways within sociocultural contexts across the West and the East. We use multiple methods (e.g., surveys, individual interviews, card-sorting, ambulatory assessment) to examine the underlying individual and family processes of at-risk adults. Ultimately, we aim to integrate family theories and empirical research to better understand how to improve outcomes of adults and families in their middle and late adulthood.
