Vogel, Nina; Gerstorf, Denis; Ram, Nilam; Goebel, Jan; Wagner, Gert G. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2017
Lifespan research has long been interested in how contexts shape individual development. Using the separation and later reunification of Germany as a kind of natural experiment we examine whether and how living and dying in the former East or West German context has differentially shaped late-life development of well-being. We apply multi-level…

Brandmaier, Andreas M.; Ram, Nilam; Wagner, Gert G.; Gerstorf, Denis – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Well-being is often relatively stable across adulthood and old age, but typically exhibits pronounced deteriorations and vast individual differences in the terminal phase of life. However, the factors contributing to these differences are not well understood. Using up to 25-year annual longitudinal data obtained from 4,404 now-deceased…

Gerlach, Katharina; Ram, Nilam; Infurna, Frank J.; Vogel, Nina; Wagner, Gert G.; Gerstorf, Denis – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Late-life well-being often shows steep deteriorations, but the contributing factors are not well understood, in part because data about people's final year of life are scarce. Here, we draw from and test theoretical perspectives that health-related vulnerabilities undermine the experience and skills older adults typically use to maintain…

Matthews, Michael S.; Ritchotte, Jennifer A.; Jolly, Jennifer L. – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2014
The label "gifted" has been a source of contention for decades, possibly because it seems to imply a desirable status that is mysteriously granted to some yet remains unavailable to others. Some writers have suggested that the term should be abandoned altogether, though a replacement that retains the same utility for classification…

Lendrum, Ann; Barlow, Alexandra; Humphrey, Neil – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2015
Parents play a crucial role in their children's education, and their active involvement can lead to better outcomes.
