RESEARCH STATEMENT

"I am Lead Editor of Race, Ethnicity, and Culture in Child Development, which is a special issue of Child Development. My current research is developing and evaluating a model of children's understanding of social status, which includes ethnicity, race, gender, and social class. My other multicultural research has focused on students' adjustment to higher education, children's understanding of ethnic prejudice, and multicultural training in professional organizations. In addition, I have published research on termination and internalization of therapeutic relationships, time-limited psychotherapy, and late adolescent development. My publications have appeared in Developmental Psychology, Journal of Counseling Psychology, Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Elementary School Guidance and Counseling Journal, Counseling Psychologist, International Journal of Intercultural Relations, and Journal of Educational Statistics."
