Professor Farver’s research and teaching specialties are in the area of development psychology, especially the social development of young children (including play, prosocial and aggressive behavior); cross-cultural developmental psychology; violence and young children; and early literacy. Professor Farver’s current research projects include: 1). Cross-cultural studies of Mainland Chinese school age children’s social development and socio-emotional functioning; 2). Carrying out a large scale, 6-year project funded by the National Science Foundation to enhance the emergent literacy skills of at-risk inner city preschoolers, on which she is the Principal Investigator, 3). Developing a Spanish language early literacy skill assessment funded by the U.S. Department of Education, and testing a bilingual\/transitional model of early literacy for Latino children by varying the language of instruction funded by the NICHD.
