| Research Interests: | ||
| Dr. Goncy's program of research focuses on the importance of relationships (e.g., romantic, peer, parent-child) on adolescent and young adulthood outcomes, specifically dating abuse, other forms of violence, victimization, and substance use. Specifically, her main research interests are understanding: 1) the etiology of aggression in adolescence and young adulthood including the identification of risk and protective factors and consequences such as victimization and adjustment difficulties, and 2) the development of other externalizing behaviors (e.g., substance use, delinquency) and resulting victimization and their relation to risk and protective factors. Secondary interests include person-centered and variable-centered approaches to measurement, treatment implementation and fidelity, and development and evaluation of prevention and intervention programs in these areas. She also applies innovative methods and statistical techniques to promote science on issues such as measurement, longitudinal modeling, and use of multi-method or cross-informant data. | ||
| Teaching Areas: | ||
| Dr. Goncy is currently teaching PSY220 Child Development, PSY535 Clinical Interviewing, and several undergraduate and graduate independent studies. Her lab currently has 19 members. She is also the Director of the Honors Program for the Department of Psychology.
Dr. Goncy has also previously taught Child Development, Adolescent Psychology, Research Methods, Quantitative Methods in Psychology, graduate level Clinical Interviewing, and several semesters of lab experiences in psychology. | ||
