Dr. Cui’s research focuses on child and adolescent social and emotional development and mental health disparity, particularly the development of psychopathology among children and adolescents from disadvantaged backgrounds (e.g., ethnic monitory, low-SES, migrant). He examines how various contextual factors (e.g., family, school, peer, and cultural contexts) contribute to human development and incorporates psychophysiological and behavioral analyses in his research.
