Jacob Markarian

I am a researcher interested in aging, cognitive health, dementia, caregiving, and emotional resilience across the lifespan. I earned my B.A. from UC Berkeley and my M.A. in Psychological Science from California State University, Northridge, where my research examined stereotypes of aging, family decision-making, and elder care.

My current interests include cognitive and emotional resilience in later life, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, caregiving, loneliness and social connection, and adaptation to chronic illness.
