Topic title - Quantitative Approaches to Examine Resilience and Aging
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-030-57089-7_6
The presentation will focus on a book chapter in which Almar Kok reviews six different quantitative approaches to examine resilience. In this chapter, he and his co-authors argue that resilience-related research questions require specific ways of selecting, coding and analyzing quantitative data. Their practical overview of six approaches is meant to guide researchers in deciding which approach best suits their definition of resilience and their research question. It is also meant to make them aware of the theoretical and conceptual assumptions about resilience that often remain implicit when applying a certain approach. The authors recommend that before analyzing their data, researchers should review the statistical possibilities, verify their theoretical assumptions, and consider to combine multiple approaches to increase the validity of the findings regarding resilience factors and processes.
The paper will be presented by Almar Kok currently assistant professor at the Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc, department of Epidemiology & Data Science and department of Psychiatry. He is trained as a sociologist, and skilled in analyzing quantitative longitudinal data as well as qualitative interview data. His mixed-methods PhD research focussed on resilience in older adults with a low socioeconomic position (SEP). Almar is currently broadly engaged in research on the social epidemiology of mental health in old age. This includes topics such as socioeconomic inequalities in mental health, the role of psychological factors in health inequality, and resilience in older adults after major depression. As head of the mental functioning group of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam, he participates in research consortia on the prevention of dementia (NCDC) and on the role of psychosocial factors in cancer incidence (PSY-CA).
So Join us!
Be on time, mute your microphone when you're not talking and enjoy this moment with your colleagues! We hope to engage you in discussion after the presentation, so you are stimulated to read the paper and prepare questions and your discussion points. At the beginning of the meeting we will provide some further guidance on how to organize the discussion.
