Research Interests My research interests lie broadly within the area of cross-cultural psychology. To date, my work has primarily examined a wide range of factors that could help to understand adaptation processes of immigrants, including resilience, acculturation strategies, and ethnic and national identity. In addition to my research on immigration, I am interested in examining the academic, psychological, and social adaptation processes among international students. In my research, I use both qualitative and quantitative methods. This includes focus groups, interviews, multigroup analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). In the past two years, my students and I have been examining the relation between expression of identity (including ethnic and national identity) and attitudes toward clothing (both ethnic and conventional fashion) among second generation immigrants in Canada. |
