Welcome to the
SAGE Lab
Stress, Aging, & Emotion
Who we are
The Stress, Aging, and Emotion (SAGE) Lab is a clinical geropsychology research lab run by Dr. Kyrsten Hill in the Department of Psychology at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
What is Clinical Geropsychology?
Clinical Geropsychology is a subfield within psychology focused on understanding and promoting the mental health and well-being of older adults and their families. In line with this goal, the SAGE Lab aims to produce research that extends current knowledge related to psychology and aging and that can be applied to enhance health and well-being in late life.
Stress
Aging
Emotion
Aging is associated with a unique set of stressors and age-related declines, many of which are uncontrollable. Despite these challenges, individuals often report positive emotional well-being into late life. The ultimate goal of the SAGE Lab is to better understand when and how older adults maintain positive health and well-being in the face of stress.
