Christopher Beam
Associate Professor of Psychology and Gerontology · USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences · University of Southern California
⭐ *I am considering taking a new graduate student for the 2022-2023 academic year.
Research interests
Generally, my work addresses the biological and environmental mechanisms that explain differences in cognitive and psychological development across the lifespan. Development is a life-long process that consists of the accumulation of experiences that shape age-graded gains and losses. The broad question that guides my research is: How do social experiences earlier in the lifespan contribute to age-related development of cognitive functioning, personality change, and the onset of psychopathology?
