My research examines the psychosocial changes associated with puberty and the impact of gender roles on adolescent development. More generally, I am a developmental psychologist with expertise in adolescence and the psychology of gender. My research strives to capture the complexity and diversity of human development, with a focus on mechanisms that give rise to gender differences in developmental phenomena.
