Areas of Research
My general research interests are in social development from a cultural perspective. Specifically, I am interested in child and adolescent peer relationships, friendship networks, and parental socialization processes (e.g., belief systems, disciplinary styles) in children’s social and emotional development. Among various factors that may contribute to individual social development, I am particularly interested in parenting styles and parental socialization goal-oriented behaviours and their relations to children’s social, emotional and school adjustment in Chinese and Canadian children. Both within-culture and cross-culture approaches have been taken in my research to understand the impact of cultural context on human development.
