Jacqueline Mogle, Ph.D., is an assistant professor on the new clinical track. Dr. Mogle received her Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Syracuse University, where she was primarily trained in research methodology and cognitive aging. Her diverse background includes collaborations across Penn State; in addition to her roles in the College of Nursing, she is affiliated with the Center for Healthy Aging and the Population Research Institute.

Dr. Mogle has two primary areas of research. The first is methodological, specifically focusing on measurement issues and the statistical analysis of complex data sets. As part of this work, she offers consulting services to researchers and students in the college through the Center for Nursing Research.

Her second area of research is subjective memory in older adults, i.e., how older adults feel about their memory functioning and how their memory impacts their everyday lives. In collaboration with Dr. Nikki Hill, she’s used a variety of methods from interviews and observations of individuals to ecological momentary assessment (e.g., asking individuals to complete memory tests multiple times per day across several days) to provide a comprehensive picture of the daily lives of older adults. In a grant recently awarded to Dr. Hill, Dr. Mogle is the lead analyst on an integrative secondary data analysis of four large longitudinal data sets. Together with her team, she will examine how older adults react to problems with memory, how those reactions change over time, and whether their reactions impact their memory functioning later in life. Using four separate data sets will allow Dr. Mogle and her team to immediately replicate the results of their analyses to provide the highest level of evidence for their work.
