S-R-A Grant Awarded to ADP Graduate Student Sara Douglass

The Innovative Small Grants Program is sponsored by the Society for Research on Adolescence Study Groups Committee, and supports research on adolescence that is innovative in terms of the subject being explored or the methods being employed. A grant was awarded to Sara Douglass, a graduate student in the Applied Developmental Psychology Program, for her proposed research on racial/ethnic teasing behaviors in adolescence, which she is currently exploring in her dissertation. This research focuses on integrating contributions from discrimination and teasing research to explore daily interactions of racial/ethnic teasing as dynamic contexts within a larger developmental perspective. In addition, it uses a daily diary method to explore how the capacity and perspective of the individual in these daily interactions may affect their experiences.

Congratulations to Sara Douglass for this outstanding achievement!
