If you have ever thought about what would be best for yourself or for someone else, you have thought about human well-being. But what exactly is well-being? And how can we measure it?  The Well-Being in Context Lab explores these questions by examining whether and how our understanding, measurement, and prediction of well-being changes across different contexts, from early life to old age, across experiences of health, illness, and neurodivergence, and within the environmental, social, and political conditions that shape people’s lives.

The Lab brings together researchers from different disciplines who share an interest in understanding and promoting human well-being. Here, you can learn about members’ research, discover opportunities for collaboration, and connect with researchers who have relevant expertise. We also run a seminar series where researchers present their work, exchange ideas, and build new collaborations.
