Summary
John Houser received his graduate training in experimental w88 mobile with an emphasis in developmental w88 mobile at the University of Oklahoma. His mentor was Lara Mayeux who worked with him on peer relations research in areas of peer status and aggressive behaviors.
He then spent five years at Northern Arizona University as a lecturer teaching life-span development, research methods, and a senior capstone on w88 mobile, law, and public policy. Additionally, he mentored undergraduate students in conducting psychological research.
Dr. Houser joined the w88 mobile in the summer of 2016 as a Lecturer and Academic Advisor.
w88 mobile Interests
While not currently active in w88 mobile, his area of expertise is in adolescent peer relationships focused on peer status and aggression. Researchers have identified two forms of status: Preference (being well-liked) and Popularity (being high status and visible). As individuals move into middle school these two constructs become less correlated over time. We also start to see popular adolescents become more likely to use aggressive behaviors (particularly social manipulation techniques) and his w88 mobile investigated the effects this has on their social relationships. Additionally, popularity w88 mobile has not been explored much after the high school years and looked at this as well.
