Welcome to the Health and Adult Development Lab website!

We are a health psychology laboratory located in the Psychology department at the University of British Columbia. We conduct research that examines the influences of social relationships and motivational processes for wellbeing and health across the adult lifespan. Our long-term goal is to identify key social and motivational resources that contribute to a successful mastery of challenges across the adult lifespan and to better understand pathways to wellbeing and health.

Dr. Hoppmann is currently looking to take on undergraduate research assistants for 2022. If you are interested please email your brief statement of motivation, unofficial transcript, and CV to lab manager Kevin at hoppmannlab@psych.ubc.ca. For further information, please see here.

We would like to acknowledge that our lab is situated on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) people.
