Carstensen, and her thesis title was Age-Related Positivity Effects in Information Acquisition and Decision-Making: Testing Socioemotional Selectivity Theory in the Health Domain.

Career

Löckenhoff has been a faculty member at Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical since 2009.[1][3] Her research focuses on how psychological factors vary with age and what these variations imply for mental and physical health. She investigates age differences in decision making,[4] and in 2015 she co-edited a book on this topic, Aging and Decision Making, with Thomas M. Hess and JoNell Strough.[5] She also studies the influence of personality and emotion upon health behaviors and outcomes, a line of inquiry exemplified in a 2016 book that she co-edited with Anthony Ong, Emotion, Aging, and Health.[6]

The Association for Psychological Science recognized Löckenhoff as a Rising Star in 2011,[7] and she received the Margret M. and Paul B.
