- Die Grant-Studie (englischer vollständiger Name: Grant Study of Adult Development, „Grant-Studie zur Erwachsenenentwicklung“) ist eine Langzeitstudie, die seit 1938 an der Harvard Medical School, der medizinischen Fakultät der Harvard University, durchgeführt wird. Zweck der Studie ist es, die Lebensgestaltung einer Stichprobe von Männern zu untersuchen. Sie trägt den Namen des Kaufhaus-Millionärs W. T. Grant, der sie von 1937 bis 1947 finanzierte. Für die Studie wurden insgesamt 268 männliche Studenten, die von 1939 bis 1942 an der Harvard University studierten, ausgewählt. Sie wurden und werden in regelmäßigen Abständen mit Fragebögen befragt und medizinisch untersucht. Von den ursprünglichen Probanden waren 2017 noch 19 am Leben, allerdings wurde die Studie mittlerweile auf Nachkommen der ursprünglichen Probanden ausgeweitet, sowie – im Rahmen der parallelen – auf Jugendliche, die in der Innenstadt von Boston aufgewachsen sind. Einige Teilnehmer der Studie erlangten später unabhängig davon eigene Bekanntheit, so etwa der US-Präsident John F. Kennedy und der Journalist Ben Bradlee. (de)
- The Grant Study is part of the Study of Adult Development at Harvard Medical School. It is a 75-year longitudinal study that followed 268 Harvard educated men, the majority of whom were members of the undergraduate classes of 1942, 1943 and 1944. It has run in tandem with a study called "The Glueck Study," which included a second cohort of 456 disadvantaged non-delinquent inner-city youths who grew up in Boston neighborhoods between 1940 and 1945. The subjects were all male and of American nationality. The men continue to be studied to this day. The men were evaluated at least every two years by questionnaires, information from their physicians, and in many cases by personal interviews. Information was gathered about their mental and physical health, career enjoyment, retirement experience and marital quality. The goal of the study was to identify predictors of healthy aging. The study, its methodology and results are described in three books by a principal investigator in the study, George Vaillant. The first book describes the study up to a time when the men were 47 years of age, and the second book to when the inner-city men were 70 years old and the Harvard group were eighty. In 2012, Vaillant and Harvard University Press published Triumphs of Experience, sharing more findings from the Grant Study. The study is part of The Study of Adult Development, which is now under the direction of Dr. Robert J. Waldinger at Massachusetts General Hospital. The study is unique partly because of the long time span of the cohort, and also partly because of the high social status of some of the study participants. Among the most notable Grant Study participants included Ben Bradlee, an editor of The Washington Post, and US President John F. Kennedy. (en)
