earning his Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology in 2004.
At
The Ohio State University, Dr. Daddis teaches Adolescent Development, Research
Methods in Psychology, Moral Development, Psychology of Childhood, Educational
Psychology, Introduction to Data Analysis, and Lifespan Development. He also
directs undergraduate independent studies and supervises Senior Honors
Theses. In addition, Dr. Daddis is the
director of the honors program at
the Ohio State Marion Campus.
Dr.
Daddis’ research employs a social cognitive approach to the study of adolescent
autonomy development that focuses on changes in adolescents’ and parents’
social reasoning about the boundaries delineating adolescent and parent
authority. Dr. Daddis’ work specifically examines the processes that are
associated with individual differences in autonomy development. Two related lines of research examine these
processes.
The
first examines the influence of peers on adolescents’ construction of
boundaries between personal and parental authority. The second line examines differences in the
ways that adolescents actively assert autonomy through active management of
information about their lives.
