Bio/Research

Sheila Marshall is developing two integrated lines of research adolescent social identity development and adolescent-parent interactions. Mattering, a form of social identity, is the psychological tendency to view the self as significant to others. To fill a gap in the literature Sheila developed a theoretical framework that guides research with adolescent and adult samples.

Sheila's second line of research investigates adolescent-parent interactions and the transfer and uptake of rights and responsibilities during the transition to adulthood. Her particular interest is in the management of information between adolescents and parents and how it, in turn, influences actions such as resource sharing, support and help, and identity construction.
