Bio: Diane is currently in her fourth year of graduate studies. She received her M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Temple University in 2008 and her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Michigan in 2004. Diane is broadly interested in applying a developmental psychopathology perspective to understanding the development of externalizing behavior problems in children and adolescents. Her current research involves using person-centered analytical approaches to examine the longitudinal relations among peer processes (e.g., peer victimization, deviant peer affiliation) and aggressive behavior in contextually at-risk children. Diane works with Dr. Deborah Drabick.
