Welcome to
on the website of the Chair of Psychological Aging Research
Psychological ageing research examines the ageing processes of psychological phenomena (including social, emotional and cognitive) and how they can be influenced and changed through person-related (e.g. training, therapy) or context-related (e.g. social, spatial, material) interventions. Both healthy ageing and pathological ageing are examined, whereby it is important to distinguish healthy developmental processes from pathological changes and their interaction.
The complexity of ageing processes cannot be understood by one discipline alone. Psychological ageing research (or gerontopsychology) therefore takes place as a sub-field of gerontology in an interdisciplinary exchange.
The focus of research in psychological ageing research at the University of Siegen is currently on resource-oriented diagnostics and psychological intervention to promote autonomy, quality of life and social inclusion in old age with and without dementia.

Our research profile
Description of the research focus areas and list of focus areas
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularized in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
