                    [summary] => My research is broadly concerned with how adolescents and young adults make sense of their place in society. Currently, one area of my research program explores how schools, families, peers, and communities influence the development of ethnic identity, and how such identities shape youths' academic and psychological outcomes. A second area of my research explores the contributions of individual motivational factors in the educational attainment of Latino youth across diverse U.S. communities.
                    [bio] => Deborah Rivas-Drake is an Assistant Professor of Education and Human Development. She received her Ph.D. in Education and Psychology from the University of Michigan and completed an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship at the NYU Center for Research on Culture, Development, and Education. Her research examines (1) how schools, families, and communities shape the development of ethnic identity in adolescence and (2) how youths' beliefs about ethnicity and opportunity relate to academic and psychological well-being.
                    [interests] => Adolescents and young adults in the U.S. are becoming a more ethnically and racially diverse group than ever before. To better understand what this augurs for the U.S. populace, there is a need to better understand the role of race and ethnicity in the experiences, relationships, and contexts of diverse youths. As such, my research follows two distinct but interrelated lines of inquiry into (i) the socialization and internalization of ethnic beliefs and values and (ii) the negotiation of societal and institutional pathways to upward social mobility among ethnic minority youth. My work has been published in journals such as Developmental Psychology, Journal of Research on Adolescence, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, American Journal of Community Psychology, and Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology.<br />
<br />
Ethnic and Racial Identity Development. I am interested in the ways in which parents' efforts to socialize their children around issues of ethnicity and race (i.e., ethnic-racial socialization) intersect with youths' own experiences outside the family context&#151;such as when they experience discrimination in school&#151;to influence the development and content of ethnic and racial identities. My work also examines the extent to which ethnic identity can buffer youth from the pernicious consequences of discrimination on academic and psychological outcomes. <br />
<br />
Perceived Barriers and Opportunities for Upward Mobility. I am interested in how ethnic minority youth perceive and experience various forms of social exclusion and barriers, such as perceived job ceilings, that become increasingly salient as they move from adolescence to young adulthood. I also explore the motivational dispositions that support academic success among youth who perceive such barriers.<br />
<br />
Conceptual and Methodological Perspectives. All of my work draws from developmental perspectives that attend to cultural and ecological/contextual factors; examines variation in processes both within and across ethnic/racial groups, including Latino, Black, Asian, and White youth; and variously employs quantitative, qualitative, and longitudinal methodologies, including in-depth interviewing, SEM, HLM/MLM, cluster analysis, and Latent Class Analysis approaches. I have worked with a variety of datasets, including smaller cross-sectional school-based surveys, longitudinal survey data with larger samples, and national data.
