Dr Tim Windsor

Research Fellow

BA(Hons) (UNE), PhD (UNE)

Research and Supervision Interests

My research interests are broadly concerned with social relations and self-regulation in the context of adult development and ageing. Specific projects are concerned with using longitudinal data to investigate psychosocial factors that promote well-being and provide resources for effective adaptation to ageing related transitions such as retirement from work and residential relocation. I also conduct work related to social relations and the role of social context in shaping well-being, including recent studies of characteristics associated with ageing well among older couples.
