Research

Research in the lab focuses on psychological and health issues, such as depression, body image, health and quality of life, age identity, and neuropsychological functioning (e.g., memory, visuospatial skills) in young, middle-aged, or older adults from the community. We are not only interested in these topics generally but also in how to best measure them, especially for vulnerable and under-studied groups.

The studies described here represent research being conducted by Dr. Hubley along with her students and other co-investigators. Funding for Dr. Hubley’s work has come primarily from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), but also from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), National Academy of Neuropsychology, and the University of British Columbia (UBC). Dr. Hubley’s students have had their research supported by a variety of SSHRC and large UBC scholarships as well as by Faculty of Education thesis and mentorship awards and the BC Network on Aging Research (BCNAR).
