Locus of control moderates the effects of residential segregation on everyday functioning in Black older adults from the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study
Episode 19
Wednesday, 29 July, 2026

In this episode, student leader Steven Harris meets with authors Dr. Alexandra Clark and Abbey Hamlin to discuss their recent paper, Locus of Control Moderates the Effects of Residential Segregation on Everyday Functioning in Black Older Adults From the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly Study. The authors share insights from their study examining how locus of control influences the relationship between residential segregation and everyday functioning over a 10-year period among Black older adults. The conversation explores the complex interplay between neighborhood environments, psychosocial factors, and healthy cognitive aging, highlighting the importance of addressing both individual- and structural-level factors to reduce disparities and promote independence in later life.
