Nadine F MarksProfessor, Department of Human Development and Family Studies |
Professor Marks’ research is motivated by an interest in how a number of psychosocial factors—psychological factors, socioeconomic status, social relationship quality, caregiving, family structure, spirituality, the work/family interface—influence adult physical and mental health and development. Additionally, she examines how gender and age moderate the importance of these various factors in determining health. Life course and ecological theoretical perspectives guide her work. She works with the research teams collecting data for the Wisconsin Longitudinal Survey and the National Survey of Families and Households, as well as the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS). Professor Marks has been the recipient of a NIH FIRST Award, and has recently participated as a Project Director for one of the projects funded as part of the UW Center on Mind/Body Interactions. Her current program of research continuing a study of “Social Inequalities, Psychosocial Factors, and Health,” is funded by the National Institute on Aging. She was a Network Associate with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Research Network on Successful Midlife Development, which developed the first wave of the MIDUS study.
