Welcome!
By now, old age has become our longest stage of life and is, at the same time, historically relatively new. We must learn to shape this stage of life both as individuals and as a society. The psychology of ageing contributes significantly to this by examining factors that enable people to live autonomously and, in the broadest sense, healthily into old age. This is also the objective of the degree programme offered at our division. The following web pages provide further information about our research, about our team and about how you can reach us (About us).
Our newest research
Our paper shows: Older people who spend a lot of time in nature worry more about the future of humankind and the environment. This effect is particularly pronounced for those who have the feeling that their time on earth is limited. We hope that our work will inspire further research on the connection between nature and aging, and that it highlights the positive impact that nature can have on older individuals.
