서지선 (Zixuan Sioh)

I am interested in how personality traits shape one's actions. With the global trend of aging, I find it fascinating to explore the relationship between personality traits and behaviors among older adults. 

이성경 (Seongkyeong Lee)

From a young age, I developed an interest in social issues like elder isolation and marginalization through volunteering at senior welfare centers and visiting the homes of elderly. These experiences inspired me to explore senior welfare policies and realize the importance of advancing aging research to support effective policymaking. As a result, I am now focusing on studying the development and mental health of older adults.  

김승연 (Seungyeon Kim)

I am Kim Seungyeon, a Research Assistant interested in developmental psychology, with a focus on the social cognitive and behaviors change of old age. I hope to explore the relationship between changes in the brain and the cognitive information processing and behavioral patterns in later life. My motivation stems from the belief that aging is a natural process of adaptation. Ultimately, as a future psychologist, my goal is to contribute meaningfully to maintaining high cognitive function and quality of life for older adults.
