Dr. Cho’s research focuses on the variety of sociocultural factors and parenting processes that shape children\u2019s emotional and self development. For example, her research team is examining mothers\u2019 and fathers\u2019 beliefs about young children\u2019s development in S. Korean and American families, and their responses to children\u2019s expressions of emotion. She also examines parent-child storytelling as a window into meaning-making and a tool for emotion socialization. Her recent work extends to the emotional and self development of emerging adults. She examines how college students recollect and narrate the highs, lows, and meaningful events in their past and their associations with psychological and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n

Dr. Cho is author of Self-Esteem in Time and Place: How American Families Imagine, Enact, and Personalize a Cultural Ideal <\/em>(2018). New York, NY: Oxford University Press.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Self-Esteem in Time and Place<\/em> is based on an in-depth systematic program of research conducted with coauthor Peggy Miller on families with young children. It describes the beliefs and practices of American families as they worked with cultural ideas and ideals about self-esteem that surrounded them and reveals how self-esteem became a touchstone of American childrearing in the early years of the 21st century. The book was nominated for multiple awards, including the American Psychological Association\u2019s Eleanor Maccoby Book Award in Developmental Psychology<\/em>, and the Society for Psychological Anthropology\u2019s Stirling Prize for Best Published Work<\/em>.
