Judith Glück is professor of developmental psychology at Alpen-Adria University Klagenfurt, Austria.
Wisdom is one of her main research foci – she is interested in how wisdom develops in the course of individual lives, how wisdom could be measured in an ecologically valid way, how wisdom relates to life review, and ways to foster wisdom. Other research interests concern autobiographical reasoning and learning from life, the development of spatial cognition, and methodological and statistical issues in developmental psychology. She received her diploma (equivalent to MA), doctorate (equivalent to PhD), and Venia legendi in Psychology at the University of Vienna, Austria, in 1995, 1999, and 2001. She worked as an assistant professor at the Department of Psychology at University of Vienna from 1995 to 1999. After completing her dissertation, she spent three years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development in Berlin, where she worked with Paul B. Baltes. She went back to Vienna and worked there as an associate professor from 2002 to 2007, when she moved to Klagenfurt.
Judith Glück has published in international journals including Psychology and Aging and Memory & Cognition. Some of her favourite papers come from a long-term collaboration with the autobiographical-memory researcher Susan Bluck from University of Florida. In 2005, she received the City of Vienna Research Award.
