Family and Everyday Life Lab Cognition Laboratory Menu Cognition Laboratory Everyday Cognition Publications and Presentations Everyday Cognition Lab Projects Team Members and Students (Past and Present) Resources Prospective Participants Prospective Students Would you describe you and your partner as "two or a kind" or more like oil and water? How much do family members rely on one another in their daily lives? What does it take to make a relationship last? How do individuals and their social partners cope with challenges? Do partners become more alike over time? Are two heads better than one? How do our abilities and social relationships change over time? What can be done to promote successful development, adaptation, and aging? These are some of the questions that our research seeks to answer. The Family and Everyday Life Lab is organized by Jennifer Margrett, Ph.D., in collaboration with undergraduate and graduate students in the field of human development, psychology, and gerontology. On the attached pages you can find out more about the lab, ongoing research studies, and links to useful sites. We welcome your comments and participation!
