Cixin Wang is an associate professor of School Psychology in the College of Education at the University of Maryland, College Park (Department of Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education). She received her Ph.D. in School Psychology from University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2011. She then completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Kennedy Krieger Institute/Johns Hopkins University in 2013. Her research interests focus on bullying prevention and mental health promotion among children and adolescents. Her research seeks to: (1) better understand different factors contributing to bullying/ victimization and mental health difficulties, including individual, family, school, and cultural factors; (2) develop effective prevention and intervention techniques to decrease bullying at school; and (3) develop school-wide prevention models to promote mental health among students, especially among culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students. She has published more than 90 SCI journal articles and conducted more than 100 national and international presentations. Dr. Wang is currently conducting the following studies:
Notice to Applicants for the Ph.D. Program in School Psychology
It is an exciting time in the field of school psychology. The roles and functions of school psychologists have evolved dramatically, and expanded from the traditional assessment to school-based mental health services (e.g., prevention and early intervention). I work actively with my graduate students to address those current issues in the field and prepare them to embrace the new roles of school psychologists.
I will be accepting Ph.D. students for mentorship in the 2019-2020 academic year. Applicants with an interest in school based mental health services, peer relationships, bullying prevention, parenting practice, working with culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students, and bridging the gap between research and practice are especially encouraged to apply. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any specific questions.
