Research and Teaching Interests:

I study teens’ relationships with their peers, and how these relationships are shaped by environmental (e.g., school contextual, online) factors. One central goal of my work is to understand various types of person-group interactions. I am particularly interested in the effects of student composition (e.g., homogeneity vs. different forms of diversity) on social norms, peer relationships, and social-emotional wellbeing. Guided by a social-contextual perspective, I conceptualize schools and classrooms as ecological niches that shape peer relationships and wellbeing. Much of my research pertains to bullying and victimization. I have examined both the motives predicting bullying perpetration (dominance) and the social-cognitive mechanisms (self-blame) underlying the emotional plight of the targets of bullying. I also conduct research on peer groups norms and how they are related to adolescent behavior. My current collaborative research examines the effects of school ethnic diversity on friendship formation, social identity development, prejudice, mental health, and academic success across middle and high school.
