Research Interests
My research interests focus on the relationships between adolescents and their parents. Specifically, I am interested in disclosure and non-disclosure in adolescent-parent relationships. In addition, I am interested in examining how ethnicity may influence these types of processes. Finally, I am also interested in examining how adolescent-parent relationships may influence adolescents' peer statuses and relations.
