Assistant Professor of Psychology, School Psychology
My research is in the area of bullying in childhood and adolescence (including relational
aggression and bullying of LGBTQ+ youth). More recently, my research interests have
also included applied research in the schools (e.g., examining the local prevalence
of bullying and the need for anti-bullying programs in our area; implementing scientifically
sound anti-bullying programs) and, more broadly, reducing barriers to adopting and
implementing with fidelity evidence-based interventions in the school setting.
Current Research Studies at Plattsburgh
Teacher, Parent & Child Adjustment to the COVID-19 Pandemic
(with Dr. Samudra and undergraduate research assistants) We are collecting online data to better understand how elementary school teachers
and students, as well as the parents of elementary-aged children are adapting to the
long-term changes associated with the pandemic. We are particularly interested in
academic, social, and emotional health.
College Bullying of Students With & Without Disabilities
(with undergraduate research assistants) We are using online surveys to better understand what factors (such as disability status) impact the amount of bullying
victimization or perpetration college students experience, engage in, or witness.
