Our Research
At the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Health & Wellbeing Lab at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV, we investigate how psychosocial factors shape health and wellbeing across the adult lifespan. To do so, we use an interdisciplinary approach focusing on bio-behavioural pathways linking social relationships to health, including health behaviours (e.g., physical activity) and health biomarkers (e.g., levels of the stress hormone cortisol).
Our methods include the analysis of longer-term health and wellbeing trajectories based on data collected over many years as well as investigating daily life dynamics based on experiential data collected over a period of days/weeks.
