Broadly, I am interested in peer relations, aggression and victimization, and friendships among adolescents.

My current research, supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, will contribute to knowledge about the implications of adolescents' enacted and received defending for both the victims and the defenders. This research is timely because international attention is focusing on the prevalent issues of peer aggression, bullying, and its prevention.
