A developmental psychologist with clinical training and a social psychological orientation, I am intrigued by a variety of topipcs. Adolescence, young adulthood and middle adulthood are the periods of the lifespan in which I most often conduct research. Current projects (joint with Professor Chuansheng Chen) include ongoing cross-cultural and across-ethnicities research that examines the role of family and peer relationships in adolescents' depressed mood and problem behavior; the role of "VIPs" (very important non- parental adults) in promoting adolescents' and young adults' psychosocial adjustment as they take on new life tasks; and the nature of parent-adult child relationships during the early adult years and their consequences for parents' and young adults' well-being. I am also studying young people's attitudes of entitlement and their beliefs about the nature and appropriate treatment of psychological problems.
