Black youth perceived quality of life, identity development, and learning outcomes (ongoing dissertation)
Abstract
This research aims to determine the predictors of stressful life events and understand how they affect behavioral and mental health, functioning, and learning outcomes for adolescents. I explore how parents’ perceived quality of life influences their children’s perceived quality of life, identities, and self-concepts. Each variable is compared across race ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender and sexual orientation and includes a time trend analysis pre- and post-Covid-19 pandemic.
