EXPERTISE
My research interests include attitude development and expression in the following areas: prejudice and discrimination, ethnic and racial identity (with a focus on Arabs and African Americans), acculturation, immigration, and attitudes toward affirmative action beneficiaries. In addition, I also study the psychological antecedents of minority standardized test performance as well as issues related to culturally relevant research methodology. More recently, I have also been working on a project assessing the relationship between racial identity and body image for African American women.

EXPERTISE
My research examines the processes by which young people understand their cultural selves and how this meaning making influences relationships, academic achievement, well-being and a sense of social responsibility. I have a strong belief that research should provide the theoretical framework and empirical evidence to guide practice and intervention. Using an action-research approach, I explore resiliency and cultural competence in the context of 1) the processes of racial socialization, 2) community vs. individual investment in the Black community, 3) risk and protective factors in coping with racism and 4) class and upward mobility.
|
|
|
EXPERTISE
My areas of focus are application and evaluation of psychometric and statistical models; hierarchical linear modeling with a focus on the multilevel measurement model; meta-analytic techniques (particularly, meta-analytic structural equation modeling and single-case research designs' synthesis).
|
|
EXPERTISE
I study student engagement in complex scientific practices, such as argumentation. In addition, I focus on understanding how the existing classroom culture influences the students work with these new practices. Through this work, I design learning environments, work with teachers to enact the learning environments, and examine what happens when they do.
