Madhavi Menon, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at NSU's College of Psychology. Her research focuses broadly on processes of psycho-social development during the period of middle childhood and emerging adulthood, and she has conducted studies on self-concept, esteem, attachment, aggression, gender identity, academic achievement, and parent-child and peer relations in individuals of this age period. Most of these projects have utilized large and diverse cross-cultural samples, allowing her to draw conclusions that apply to children and emerging adults who vary as to their sex, age and ethnicity/culture, while also examining differences related to these features.
