My interests are in both social development and quantitative methods, and especially at the interface of these two disciplines.
My substantive research is in social development, especially peer relations and aggressive behavior during childhood and adolescence. I am conducting research that considers the various forms and functions of aggressive behavior, the risk factors and consequences of childhood peer victimization, and the dyadic relationships that exist between aggressors and victims. I also study friendships and enemy relationships, and how these influence social behavior (e.g., aggression). Finally, I am interested in how each of these aspects of peer relations connects with individual-level adjustment and larger group-level context.
My quantitative interests involve several interrelated analytic approaches. The first of these is structural equation modeling, and I am conducting research on alternative latent variable scaling methods and their uses, methods of evaluating measurement invariance across groups and/or time, and practices of modeling latent means. I am also interested in methods of modeling interdependent data, such as that found in dyads and small group, using methods such as the actor-partner interdependence model, the social relations model, and various social network analysis techniques. I also study various methods of analyzing longitudinal data within developmental research, such as latent growth curve modeling, dynamic p-techniques, and analyzing data from accelerated longitudinal designs. Finally, I am interested in meta-analytic techniques, especially recent advances in multivariate meta-analysis.
I have organized the following publications roughly into those that are primarily developmental and those that are primarily quantitative in focus. However, this organization is simply for convenience, given that most of my work attempts to incorporate both areas of research.
