I mainly study how children across cultures and ethnic groups develop learning beliefs, how they are socialized in this development, and how their beliefs influence their actual learning and achievement. My research involves preschoolers, schoolchildren, and college students. I am also interested in children's self-concepts in learning. My second research interest is in how children across cultures develop self-conscious emotions such as pride, honor, respect, shame, guilt, and embarrassment.
