Additional Research Interests: Social Work and Psychology, Aggression, Children (Develpment), Children (Violence), Cognition-social
My research interests include aggressive behavior and development of aggressive behavior in children, and my work on the role of media violence in the development of aggressive, violent and criminal behavior, especially among children and young adults is nationally known. I am also interested in social cognition and informational processing models of social behavior; multivariate statistics, structural modeling, growth curve analysis.
In addition to my appointment with Psychology, I lead the Aggression Research Program at the U-M Institute for Social Research, and have appointments as a Professor of Communications Studies and as Director of the Research Center for Group Dynamics of the Institute for Social Research.
