Pathways to Adult Resilience and Healthy Aging (PARA) Lab
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.
