This project. (2011 – 2013), was funded by the Jacobs Foundation, Switzerland. It was designed to assess youth activism during the revolution that had begun in January, 2011. Individual and group interviews were conducted every 3-4 months with a set of youth representing the various forms of diversity. Findings include the documentation of varying levels of political activism dependent on social class, religion, and proximity to central nodes of conflict. The project was extended to include providing a youth module for the Population Council’s survey of 12,000 youth in 2013.

This project, (1997 – 2002) was also funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to serve as multi-cultural test of the validity of the parenting model. Group interviews (30 individuals) and surveys (approximately 1,000 individuals) of adolescents in the following cultures were done: Colombia, Germany, Bosnia, Palestine, South Africa (3 racial groups), China, and Bangladesh. Findings gave strong validation for the unique impact of parental psychological control.

This project, (1997 – 2002), was funded by the US National Institute of Mental Health. Its primary aim was to assess the validity a 3-part model of parenting and to assess unique effects of those parenting behaviors: support, behavioral, and psychological control. It did so on a representative sample of 933 families, with assessments for mothers, fathers, and an adolescent child. Results supported the uniqueness of the parenting behaviors and, most importantly, validated the negative role of parental psychological control.
