Princeton Center for Research and Well-Being

a MiCDA Research Project Description

Investigators: Norbert Schwarz

Funding: National Institute on Aging 2009-2013 (2P30 AG024928)

The goal of this proposal is the development of “bottom-up” measures of daily experience, combining elements of time sampling with detailed episodic reinstantiation of events. Future use of the measures includes research into well-being and age-related changes in activities and experiences. I will (1) design methodological studies for the development and validation of these measures (Event Reconstruction Method, Day Reconstruction Method, and future variants); (2) develop the question program for pilot studies using the measures; (3) supervise the implementation of the pilot studies in form of web-based self-administered questionnaires; (4) participate in meetings in Princeton; and (5) present and publish relevant results.

Research Signature Themes:

Health
Surveys/Data Collection: Methods

Country of Focus: USA
