Norman Farb, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto Mississauga, where he directs the Regulatory and Affective Dynamics laboratory (www.radlab.zone). He studies the psychology of well-being, focusing on mental habits, such as how we think about ourselves and interpret our emotions. He is particularly interested in why people differ in their resilience to stress, depression, and anxiety. Prof. Farb's work currently explores online training to support wellbeing, as well as neuroimaging to understand how emotional reactions predict mental health over the lifespan.

About
Dr. Kim's program of research aims to identify, understand, and intervene upon the dimensions of psychological well-being (sense of purpose in life, optimism) that reduce the risk of age-related conditions. <br> Around this topic, he has given invited lectures at Universities (Harvard, U. of Penn, MIT, Columbia U.), corporations (UnitedHealth Care, IDEO, AARP, Samsung), and he’s also been invited to speak at and join the working groups of national- and international-think-tanks (United Nations, OECD, Aspen Ideas Festival, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, The Task Force for Global Health, World Government Summit, National Academy of Sciences). He’s also been recognized as one of Forbe’s 30 Under 30 in Healthcare, recipient of the American Journal of Epidemiology's Paper of the Year Award, the American Psychological Association Division 20 (Aging) Early Career Achievement Award, and an Association for Psychological Science (APS) Rising Star. His insights have been featured in the: NY Times, Atlantic, BBC News, NPR, Washington Post. His research has been cited by policy statements/guidelines formulated by the: United Nations, National Academy of Sciences, American Heart Association, the U.S. Surgeon General. Population aging is one of the most important social trends of the 21st century. In both Canada and the U.S., the # of adults aged ≥65 is projected to increase by 45%-55% in the next 15 years. As societies grapple with the rising tide of chronic conditions, healthcare costs, and long-term care costs, it is imperative to develop a science that informs a more comprehensive approach to healthy aging. Dr. Kim’s overarching goal is to substantially help improve the psychological well-being and physical health of our rapidly growing population. In pursuit of this goal, his program of research revolves around 4 interwoven questions. He studies: 1) Several dimensions of psychological well-being (sense of purpose in life, optimism) and how they relate to health outcomes. 2) The behavioral, biological, and neural mechanisms underlying the association between psychological well-being and health. 3) How an individual’s psychological well-being interacts with the surrounding environment to influence behavioral and physical health outcomes; for example, at the meso-level (dyadic dynamics in couples, neighborhood contexts, altruism/volunteering) and the macro-level (social cohesion, social and racial disparities). 4) And he partners with non-profit/healthcare companies to conduct translational research that test scalable interventions.

Example aging projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on aging?

Designing Age-Friendly Technology Solutions

An academic researcher in Aging can collaborate with a technology company to design age-friendly technology solutions. They can conduct user research to understand the specific needs and preferences of older adults, and then work with the company's design and development teams to create products that are intuitive, accessible, and inclusive for older users.

Developing Healthcare Services for Aging Population

A healthcare company can collaborate with an academic researcher in Aging to develop specialized healthcare services for the aging population. The researcher can provide insights into the unique healthcare needs of older adults, conduct studies to evaluate the effectiveness of existing services, and work with the company to design and implement evidence-based interventions and programs.

Creating Age-Friendly Retail Environments

A retail company can collaborate with an academic researcher in Aging to create age-friendly retail environments. The researcher can provide expertise in store layout and design, lighting, signage, and product placement to enhance the shopping experience for older adults. They can also conduct research on consumer behavior and preferences among older adults to inform marketing and product development strategies.

Implementing Age-Inclusive HR Policies

An academic researcher in Aging can collaborate with a company's HR department to implement age-inclusive policies and practices. They can conduct research on age-related biases and stereotypes in the workplace, provide training on age diversity and inclusion, and help develop strategies to attract, retain, and support older employees. This collaboration can lead to a more inclusive and age-diverse workforce, fostering innovation and productivity.

Designing Aging-Friendly Housing Solutions

A real estate development company can collaborate with an academic researcher in Aging to design aging-friendly housing solutions. The researcher can provide insights into the housing needs and preferences of older adults, conduct studies on accessibility and universal design, and work with the company's architects and designers to create housing options that promote independent living, safety, and well-being for older residents.
