The Journey of SHARE in Lithuania: Striving for a Bright Future

Lithuania's experience with SHARE data has shown promising potential, with a growing number of users and applications in research and institutions like the Bank of Lithuania. The journey began in 2014, focusing on aging impact on society, leading to pretests, field rehearsals, and main surveys. With 12 current users and doctoral students utilizing the data for their research, SHARE data is shaping analyses of health care, social security, and work participation in Lithuania. More resources are needed for comprehensive data collection and analysis to track changes effectively.

11. SHARE and psychology

12. Im psychologist from the field of personality psychology Huge tests (MMPI-2: 567 questions) Small samples (100 students oooo, that's more than enough). Non-random samples SHARE: small tests (most of the time one question), huge sample. Random samples

13. Personal interests Since SHARE is a multidisciplinary study, only several psychological variables are included: well-being, cognitive functioning, mental health, Big Five and correlates of these variables (activities, life histories, socioeconomic situation, etc.). But we have life histories and we can test various theories, for example form evolutionary psychology... Expanded cognitive functioning module in SHARE wave 8. Almost everyone can find something interesting for themselves in SHARE data
