Biography
Lisa Crockett, Professor of Psychology, received her BA in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and her PhD in Human Development from the University of Chicago. Before coming to UNL she was a post-doctoral researcher at Johns Hopkins University and a faculty member in Human Development and Family Studies at the Pennsylvania State University.
Professor Crockett's research interests focus on adolescent development. She conducts research in two primary areas: adolescent risk behavior, with an emphasis on sexuality, and ethnic differences in parenting and adolescent adjustment. In one study, Dr. Crockett has followed a sample of rural adolescents from junior high into early adulthood. Using this data set she has examined predictors and consequences of early sexuality activity and heavy drinking among rural youth. More recent analyses focus on the implications of adolescents' family relationships, peer relationships and prosocial behavior for the quality of their romantic relationships in adulthood. In a second study, she and Dr. Marcela Raffaelli have examined the childhood origins of adolescents' sexual risk-taking. In a third study, she has examined the relations between parenting practices and adolescent adjustment across different ethnic groups, using national survey data and qualitative data from focus group interviews with teenagers. Dr. Crockett served as Associate Editor of the Journal of Research on Adolescence from 1999-2004 and is on the editorial boards of the Journal of Early Adolescence and the Journal of Adolescent Research. |
