Annette M. La Greca

My research Interests focus on adolescents' peer relations (including peer and cyber victimization), friendships, and romantic relationships, as they pertain to psychological and physical health, and on the impact of trauma, especially natural disasters (hurricanes), on the psychological and physical functioning of youth and parents. Within these areas, I adopt a “risk and resilience” perspective, and am keenly interested in translating research findings into preventive interventions. My recent work also reflects an interest in developmental issues that affect the conceptualization of posttraumatic stress disorder in youth.
