Children and adolescents from Jamaica

Project Descriptions  |  Datasets

My graduate work at Michigan State University (1993-1999) focused on examining how different cultural socialization practices affect child and adolescent behaviors in Jamaica and the United States.  Detailed information is available in project descriptions, and a couple of representative titles and abstracts are provided below.  

• Behavior and emotional problems among adolescents of Jamaica and the United States: Parent, teacher, and self reports for ages 12-18
  
  
• Race, migration, and psychological adjustment: A comparison of Jamaican immigrant children with nonimmigrant children of African descent in the U.S. and Jamaica
