Dr Mengya Zhao – Postdoctoral Research Fellow<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Mengya is currently working as a research fellow on the STEM Teens Project. She is specifically interested in how psychosocial factors (e.g., parenting, self-compassion, self-esteem, peer relationships) affect mental health in children and young people, as well as how cultural differences can influence child development and mental health. She has used a wide variety of quantitative methods (e.g., cross-sectional survey, longitudinal data analysis) and qualitative methods (e.g., focus groups, interviews) in her research. Her work has proposed a conceptual model of depression from a developmental and culturally-informed perspective, which she hopes will be able to guide assessment and intervention in support of parents and young people.<\/p>\n

\"\"Aqsa\u2019s research focuses on children and adolescent\u2019s moral decision making in intergroup contexts, specifically when outgroup and ingroup members spread misinformation. She is interested in investigating if the group membership of the individual spreading misinformation influences children and adolescent\u2019s moral evaluations. She is also exploring whether norms that induce a mindset of thinking critically about information can influence children and adolescents’ support of group members who spread misinformation and group members who support misinformers.
