Dr. Jeremy Hamm is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at NDSU. After earning his Ph.D. at the University of Manitoba and completing an internship at the Institute for Psychogerontology at the University of Nuremberg, he completed two nationally-funded postdocs at the University of California, Irvine and Concordia University. His research examines the role of motivational and self-regulatory processes in adaptive development across the adult lifespan. He focuses on how core motivation processes, including personal beliefs (perceived control, attributions, expectations), discrete emotions (hope, excitement, regret), and behaviors (goal engagement strategies), promote healthy aging for individuals who encounter stressful experiences and transitions.
Dr. Hamm’s research in this area has been funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), and the Deutscher Academischer Austausch Dienst (German DAAD). He has received early career awards for his research on adult development and aging from the Association for Psychological Science (Rising Star Award), the American Psychological Association (D20 Springer Award), and the Gerontological Society of America (Baltes and Baltes Award).
