The role of personality in cognitive aging and dementia

The project will involve guidance with respect to personality measurement and modeling in the context of this project. Mroczek and Graham will advise and collaborate with Dr. Scott and the other Co-Investigators with respect to modeling personality in daily formats and as predictors, as well as using lifespan-relevant variables to predict different aspects of cognition. Mroczek has over 25 years of experience working with longitudinal data, daily experiences data, and modeling change over long-term periods, making him suitable to assist Scott’s team with respect to these issues. Dr. Graham has over 10 years of experience modeling cognition and personality together, making her uniquely suited to this project as well. She has also analyzed EAS data for other papers. Dr. Mroczek will have primary responsibility for the management of the NU subcontract.
