Amy Bellmore is an Assistant Professor of Human Development in the Department of Educational Psychology. She received her Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from the University of Connecticut. Following her graduate studies, she completed Postdoctoral Training in the Department of Education at UCLA funded by the NIMH, the American Psychological Association, and the Institute of Education Sciences. She teaches courses on adolescent development and developmental research methods. RESEARCH STATEMENT My primary research interest is how school-based peer relationships influence development during adolescence. My research program focuses on two main topics in particular—(1) the processes and mechanisms through which social risk factors, such as being the victim or perpetrator of peer-directed aggression, impact academic and psychosocial adjustment, and (2) the significance of ethnicity and ethnic contexts for students’ intra- and inter-group relations. My interest in these phenomena stems from my larger goal of obtaining knowledge about adolescent development within the context of school settings that can be translated into practice by stakeholders in the communities in which I conduct my research and with professionals and policy-makers in the broader education community.
