How can adolescents cope with stressful events, develop a sense of psychological resilience, and thrive despite numerous challenges in their social world? My research program explores the role of mindsets and lay theories in shaping adolescents’ stress resilience, health and wellbeing, and learning outcomes during the developmental transition. Using psychological interventions and school field-based longitudinal studies, my work seeks to inform theories and practices to promote resilience and social-emotional competencies in youths.
