FAMILIES, ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION, & IDENTITY RESEARCH LAB    

welcome!


Affectionately called the FAM&I Lab, the Families, Achievement Motivation, and Identity Research Lab investigates how racially and ethnically minoritized youth develop strong racial/ethnic and gender identities, positive academic motivational beliefs, and overall flourishing that can sustain them in adulthood. We are also interested in how families and social figures play a key role in this development.

From basic research to community outreach, we seek to learn from the developmental assets that minoritized teens and families bring to their everyday interactions to develop relevant research solutions to the barriers they face in our society.

The FAM&I Lab is located in Meliora Hall 100P at the University of Rochester.
