New research on wisdom from UF sociology

Congratulations to Dr. Monika Ardelt! Dr. Ardelt – the coordinator of graduate programs in our department – is the sole author of an article exploring the possibility of learning wisdom and psychosocial growth in university courses, recently published in the Journal of Moral Education. A second article in which she is the lead author, on whether three-dimensional wisdom (cognitive, reflective, and compassionate) acts as a buffer against the stress experienced by college students, has been published in the Journal of Adult Development. Additionally, Dr. Ardelt is the lead author of a chapter exploring implicit wisdom theories in six countries around the world and their implications for multinational business and management, recently published in the Handbook of Practical Wisdom in Business and Management.
