Associate Professor Tim Windsor is from the College of Education, Psychology and Social Work at Flinders University. His research interests are concerned with changes in activity engagement, social behaviour, emotion regulation, and cognition that occur during adulthood and ageing and beliefs and sense of purpose that contribute to effective self-regulation and development over the lifespan.
- What does it mean to age well? Maximising gains and opportunities and minimising losses. Ageing is not all about loss.
- What is strong in your life? How can we connect to like-minded strength people.
- The potential for growth in later life while best addressing challenges that arise. Maintaining engagement with life. Activities that give us meaning and purpose.
- Retirement period. It’s long and can be full of purpose.
- Volunteering. Travel. Hobbies. Finding activities that provide social connection and purpose. Engagement that has meaning to the person. Meaningful social relationships are fundamental to leading a fulfilled life.
- Setting goals and engaging with them.
- The importance of diverse networks. You have to keep building networks that will help you achieve what you want to achieve.
- Links between social engagement and cognition. Connection can lead us into positive health behaviours.
