Research
My research focuses on understanding the development of social behaviors, well-being, and adjustment among peers. In this framework, psychological processes of interest include (but are not limited to) social goals, relational schemas, and action control. At the outcome level, my primary interests include the different forms of aggressive and withdrawn behaviors, sociometric and reputational status among peers, and social selection and socialization processes in adolescent friendships.
