About Charissa Cheah, Ph.D.

Charissa L. Cheah, Ph.D. is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and Asian Studies Faculty Affiliate at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. As a cultural developmental scientist, Dr. Cheah utilizes mixed-method approaches to explore how individual characteristics, relationships, socialization agents, and contexts interact to influence social-emotional, mental, and physical health. She is particularly interested in understanding these processes among families of racial-ethnic and religious minority backgrounds, to promote the positive development and thriving of all children and their families.

Topic: Identity-Formation Influences on Child Development

Researcher (and Middle School parent) Charissa L. Cheah, Ph.D. joins us to share about identity-formation influences on child and adolescent social-emotional development and physical health. Dr. Cheah’s talk will lead into a discussion about the role we, as adults, play in helping children learn healthy boundaries that promote healthy social-identity development.
