Glossary LIVES
Welcome to the new LIVES wiki-glossary! With over 30 central concepts described and explained, this initiative aims to make interdisciplinary research more simple and straightforward.
For instance, researchers can now benefit from these standard definitions for the analysis of vulnerability in a life-course perspective.
This glossary includes terms such as vulnerability, trajectories, coping, resilience, recovery, resources complementary, resources competition, resources subsidiarity, spillover and crossover across life domains, synergies and conflicts among life domains, capital, trajectories, cumulative (dis)advantages, resilience, causality, mixed methods, multilevel (data and models), longitudinal data (retrospective and prospective), missing data, and more.
LIVES Director Dario Spini and Co-Director Eric Widmer, with the support of the Scientific Officer, Christina Györkös, and the IT Officer, Urs Richle, the CCI and IP leaders, are coordinating this new initiative.
