Description Dr. Christiane Hoppmann, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, choppmann@psych.ubc.ca
This course provides insights into the socio-motivational mechanisms underlying health and well-being across the adult lifespan and into old age. You will learn about age-related changes in motivations and social relationships as well as their ramifications for daily life processes and longer-term outcomes in two central domains of functioning: physical health and subjective wellbeing. In addition to these substantive questions, we will also discuss different research traditions and methodologies that can be used to investigate intraindividual variability and long-term change. One goal of the course is to become familiar with theory and research methods on socio-motivational mechanisms. A second goal will be to learn to critically evaluate research in this area and think about its practical implications.
Format:The language of this course is English. It is a discussion seminar. Given this format, students are asked to read the assigned literature in advance.

Assessments methods By rating Descriptions of Exams Your grade will be assigned on the basis of your participation in classand two 1-page reaction papers that are due 3 days before the seminar. There will be a list of readings organized by topic with multiple readings each. You are to pick one topic per day (two in total) and prepare a 1-page paper for each topic commenting on conceptual or methodological aspects of the readings that you find interesting, convincing, or confusing. You can also outline a new idea that you derive from the readings, talk about practical implications, or write about aspects that should have been addressed and that are missing. In other words, provide a critical evaluation of the readings as a whole and the respective implications for research and practice. At the bottom of each reaction paper, you are to include 2-3 thought-provoking questions related to your paper that could spur discussion during class time. Please be prepared to lead a discussion on these questions. Your reaction papers and questions will allow me to make sure that we cover all major issues and questions. Please send your reaction papers and questions as word attachments via email the three days before the beginning of the Blockseminar. Do not forget to include your full name. Please note that in order to achieve a balance of assignments across topics, there is a separately provided list where you can enter your name behind the topic of your choice. If all lines behind a certain topic are full that means that you need to pick a different topic.
