Stawski’s research focuses on links between stressful experiences, health, well-being and cognition with three main foci: understanding the psychological and biological pathways linking stressful experiences, health, well-being and cognition; how stressful experiences influence health, well-being, and cognition in the contexts of individual development (aging), family relationships, and the work/family interface; and the use of integrated longitudinal and intensive repeated measures (e.g., measurement burst) designs for examining the proximal, cumulative, and prospective effects of stressful experiences on health, well-being and cognition.
