Overview

I have an active program of research examining peers' influence on children's school adjustment. Undergraduate students have assisted in myriad ways, including collecting and entering data, developing coding systems, coding videotaped observations, presenting findings to local, regional, and national audiences, and serving as co-authors on peer-reviewed journal articles. Please contact me if you would like to get involved!
