Human development is a process of growth and change across the entire lifespan, from infancy to old age. Our research focuses on the role of social support in that developmental process throughout adulthood. Social support from family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and communities is an integral factor influencing human development. We do not develop alone; our lives are linked, and through those links we influence each other’s development and well-being. The Linked Lives Lab seeks to better understand how our interpersonal connections influence adult development and well-being.
