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.
