• Research Interests:
(Identity and exposure to community violence)
Margaret Rosario, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in Psychology. Her research interests are in two broad and related areas. She is concerned with the multidimensional interfaces of identity. These include the relations between personal and social identity, particularly as tensions arise between them. She also focuses on the intersection of multiple identities because an indiviual is not a function of a single identity, but a combination of several identities (e.g., gender, ethnic, religious, sexual). Of concern is what happens when conflicts arise among identities; how the conflict is managed; what implications do the conflict and its management have for the individual's health; and how the conflict and its effects change over time. Professor Rosario's second research area includes the influence of exposure to community violence on a host of adaptational and health-related outcomes. Potential mediators and moderators of these relations are of critical interest.
