  • (Dis)Respect in the M(ai)cro Context

    Open AccessJohari Harris, Nancy L Deutsch et al.ARTICLEHuman Development2025

    The concept of respect has been largely overlooked in developmental science. Yet respect, or lack thereof, is often central to key psychosocial outcomes during adolescence (e.g., interpersonal relationships, behavioral choices).

  • Can mentor organizations impact mentor outcomes? Assessing organizational norms on mentor intent to stay and willingness to “go the extra mile”

    Open AccessRachael L Ellison, Molly Cory et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2020Cited by: 3References: 41

    The current study explores how organizational norms within mentoring organizations predict mentor outcomes over and above individual mentor characteristics.
