Broadly, Krysten's research focuses on stress, health, and well-being across adulthood into late life. She is interested in how daily stressors and major stressful life events connect to healthy aging outcomes, such as mental health, chronic illness, and cognitive functioning. Her work aims to examine short-term variability and long-term developmental change in stress, health, and well-being, as well as individual differences in these processes.
