Dr. Daniela Jopp spearheads the Fordham Centenarian Study. The research program investigates the specifics of life at age 100 - how well are centenarians doing, what are the difficulties that they face in everyday life, activities they like to engage in, and how satisfied are they with their lives. A central aim of the research is investigating psychological factors that enable these very old individuals to handle everyday challenges in a positive way.
Dr. Jopp and the Fordham Centenarian Study have been featured recently on Web MD. Jopp was quoted about her recent research findings, stating, "We Know personality has a strong genetic background...[Those who live to 100] seem to have a very special psychological makeup."
