My research focuses on social, emotional, and cognitive development during adolescence.
My overarching interest is in predictors and outcomes of parenting during adolescence, with related interests in maternal well-being. My work includes basic and applied approaches, and I employ cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental designs. I study both typically- and atypically-developing adolescents and their parents. Specific topics of interest include mother-adolescent relations, parenting, body image and eating disorders, and ADHD.

Monica Perez, M.A.
Education: B.A., St. Mary's University, San Antonio, TX
Research Interest: Broadly, I am interested in parent interventions, atypical and typical adolescent development, parenting stress and well-being, and the parent-child relationship during adolescence all from a cross-cultural lens. My passion for cross-cultural research has deepened with experience throughout my academic career. During Summer 2018, I traveled to Lusaka, Zambia where I had the opportunity to help disseminate and implement psycho-educational interventions for mothers whose children were diagnosed with Autism. Currently, I am working on ways to explore and identify the prevalent needs and barriers of accessing mental health care in the Latino community.
