Tiffany Yip, Ph.D. is a Professor of Psychology at Fordham University. She completed an undergraduate degree at Cornell University, her MA and PhD at NYU, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan. Her research on ethnic identity and discrimination among minoritized young people has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. She is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the Association for Psychological Science, and the Academy of Behavioral Medicine and Research.

In this talk, Dr. Tiffany Yip will present data spanning two decades of research focused on how minoritized young people make sense of their ethnicity and race as an aspect of identity development.

As part of this work, Dr. Yip considers embedded, multilevel contexts and their interaction such as how proximal contexts such as peer ethnic and racial composition that take places within more distal contexts such as school composition are implicated in experiences of identity development.

Her work also focuses on ethnic and racial discrimination as a context for identity development and overall adjustment. Finally, she will close with data investigating the nature of the association between ethnic and racial identity, discrimination with developmental outcomes and disparities with a particular focus on sleep and how it relates to mental health and academic adjustment.
