Core Scholarly Theme(s): Child, Adolescent, Life Span Development/ Dynamical Assessment

Research Interests: Research interests include gender development in children, development of gender identity and stereotypes in children, gender and peer relationships, and the role of gender and sex segregation in school adjustment and functioning. Interests also include assessment of peer networks and using computer simulations to understand children's peer networks. Teaching activities emphasize gender development, theories of child development, and human development.

Dr. Martin's current research project is a federally funded study of children's adjustment to school: The Understanding School Success (USS) project, of which she is a principal investigator. For more information on the USS project, go to the USS webpage at http://www.asu.edu/uss.

Dr. Martin is also working with a team of researchers on a federally funded study involving the development and assessment of computer simulations of children's play patterns. Data have been collected about preschool children's play partners and their social and behavioral characteristics, and these data are being used to compare with computer simulated models of children's play.
