Lab Director: Jasmine DeJesus, Ph.D.
Dr. DeJesus is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at UNC Greensboro. Her research examines the development of children's social attitudes, their reasoning about social and cultural groups, the development of food preferences and eating behavior, and children's early health concepts. Her research has been published in several top academic journals, including Child Development, Developmental Science, and Developmental Psychology, and her work has been supported by many sources, including the National Science Foundation, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and American Heart Association. In her free time, Jasmine enjoys sewing and lively debates about her favorite television shows (currently: Schitt's Creek and One Day at a Time), and is looking forward to going to a baseball game in person again. For more information, visit her faculty website or Google Scholar page. |
