Christiane Hoppmann

Dr. Christiane Hoppmann is an assistant professor in health psychology at the University of British Columbia (UBC). She also heads the Health and Adult Development Lab in UBC’s psychology department and is a core member of the UBC Center for Hip Health and Mobility.

Her research is currently funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Vancouver Foundation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and the Australian Research Council. She has received a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Scholar Award (2012), the Springer Early Career Achievement Award in Research on Adult Development and Aging from the American Psychological Association (2012), the Margaret and Paul Baltes Early Career Award from the Gerontological Society of America (2012), and the Peter Wall Early Career Scholar Award from the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies (2011).

Hoppmann’s research examines how key psychological factors such as social relationships and goals contribute to the successful mastery of challenges and foster healthy aging. Her projects involve in-depth investigations of everyday processes using novel daily life assessments (‘time-sampling’) and track how such everyday life processes accumulate over time to manifest in long-term health outcomes.
