Emily Willroth, PhD

Dr. Emily Willroth is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. She investigates how components of psychosocial wellbeing (e.g., life satisfaction, sense of purpose, social connection) vary and change across time, both in the short-term from moment-to-moment and in the long-term across the adult lifespan. She applies insights from this research to examine links between psychosocial wellbeing and important health outcomes in middle and older adulthood, such as cognitive decline, dementia, and stroke.
