Stephanie Wilson's research investigates the biopsychosocial paths by which close relationships shape health and well-being across adulthood and older age. She has studied both healthy and chronically ill couples using a variety of methods: observational and experimental designs; in the lab and daily life; with biomarker, physiological, self-report, and observational coding modalities; analyzed using a wide range of quantitative methods; and across temporal frames (i.e., across moments, hours, days, months, and years). A central aim of this work has been to integrate social-emotional theories of aging with a dyadic perspective to examine how couples’ interactions and their immune responses may evolve across adulthood. One of her long-term objectives is to understand how to optimize relational resources to extend our healthy years by applying basic biobehavioral findings to develop and improve interventions.
