Cindy S. Bergeman, Ph.D. Professor, Psychology Biography Cindy Bergeman is a professor of psychology and a lifespan developmental psychologist with research interests in resiliency and aging, behavioral genetics, and the theory-method interface. Her research focuses on investigating patterns of variability and change in physical and psychological health across the lifespan, and identifying the genetic and environmental factors that may influence that process. Her current research project uses multiple lenses Categories (yearly questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and daily assessments) to identify and describe the various pathways through which converging behavioral, psychological, environmental, Family, Science, Social and social processes contribute to resilience and optimal functioning in later life. Unique Concerns to her perspective is the innovation in data assessment and analysis that facilitates more comprehensive understanding of the multidimensional and multilevel pathways that underlie the relations among stress and uplifts (e.g. in areas of work, family, friends, health, and finances), resilience mechanisms (e.g. hardiness, control, and social support) and health and well-being outcomes. Lectures Aging Successfully How long will you live? Why do some individuals manage to maintain high self-esteem, good physical health, and a positive outlook on life in spite of facing the same adversities that lead others to give up, get sick, or lose hope? What are the turning points that change an individual’s developmental trajectory, and which qualities result in more optimal outcomes? How do these qualities develop, and how do they change across the life course? This lecture explores the psychosocial and health attributes that help one overcome the risks and challenges associated with aging. These factors may serve as the important resources of resilience that promote more optimal outcomes in later life. Activities will include assessing how long you are likely to live given your family history and current lifestyle. Discussion regarding the factors that contribute to life expectancy, and what you can do to add quality to your later years, will follow. How Stress Gets “Under the Skin”: Implications for Health and Well-Being Although some stress is a good thing, too much stress is a different story. The stimulation of the “fight or flight” response can be beneficial, but when the stress system is chronically activated, detrimental effects on health result. This lecture focuses on the psychobiological pathways of stress, healthy and unhealthy responses to stressful life circumstances, and general tips for managing stress. Why We Are Who We Are: Genetic and Environmental Influences on Behavior Why are people different? Why are some people shy, whereas others have “never met a stranger”? Why do some children learn to read more quickly than others? Why do some people struggle with depression? Two major categories have been identified as answers to these questions: “nature” and “nurture.” But what does it mean to say that a characteristic is inheritable? How do we understand what it is about the environment that is fundamentally important? How do the influences of genes and environment combine to produce behaviors as complex as personality, intelligence, or pathology? We will examine the types of questions that can and cannot be asked to understand the methods used in behavioral genetic research, and to discuss the implications of the findings in the literature.

Lecture Understanding Globalization: Past, Present, and Future The post World War II era has seen a dramatic increase in economic globalization – that is, increased international trade, foreign direct investment, and migration. This lecture examines the degree and sources of this past increased globalization – both in terms of reductions in “natural” barriers (such as shipping and information costs) as well as in “man-made” barriers (such as tariffs on imports and exports and government barriers to foreign direct investment). It examines the present “degree” of globalization: Is the world (economy) “flat”? This lecture also addresses the likely evolution of the world economy over the next few decades. 14 The Hesburgh Lecture Series, 2012 Program
