Anne Ingeborg Berg

Anne Ingeborg Berg is an Associate Professor and Vice-Prefect in the Department of Psychology at the University of Gothenburg. She has been actively contributing to the field of gerontological psychology since earning her doctoral degree in 2008 with the thesis "Life satisfaction in late life." Currently, she serves as a Lecturer in the Section for Neuro, Cognitive and Developmental Psychology.

Dr. Berg earned her license as a psychologist in 2002, completed her Phil. Lic. degree in 2006, and achieved Associate Professor status in Psychology in 2016. Her educational background has provided a strong foundation for her research and teaching career focused on aging populations.

Her primary research interests center on psychological development during aging, with specific emphasis on well-being, depression, and suicidality in older adults. She investigates these issues through both population-based and clinical studies. Her teaching focuses on developmental psychology, life course theory, middle age and aging, clinical perspectives on aging, and mental health and ill health.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on retirement transitions, personality changes in aging, suicide prevention for older adults, and mental health assessment tools. Her work often employs longitudinal methodologies to track changes over time, with particular attention to gender differences and the role of individual resources in adaptation to aging-related life changes. Much of her research involves the Gothenburg H70 study cohort and other Swedish population-based studies.

As Vice-Prefect, Dr. Berg holds an administrative leadership role within the department while maintaining an active research program and teaching responsibilities. Her collaborative work spans multiple institutions and involves interdisciplinary teams focused on gerontological research.
