Elisabetta Crocetti (co-chair), Alma Mater Studiorum University
of Bologna, Italy
Elisabetta Crocetti, PhD, is a senior assistant professor at the Department
of Psychology of the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna, Italy. Her
primary scholarly interest concerns the processes of identity formation in
adolescence and emerging adulthood. In particular, she is interested in
examining how identity is formed and revised over time and which individual
(e.g., personality, social-cognitive strategies, anxiety), relational (e.g.,
family and peer relationships), social (e.g., civic participation), and cultural
factors influence this dynamic. She is also strongly interested in
methodological and statistical issues related to social research, such as
cross-cultural validation of measurement instruments, longitudinal analysis,
systematic reviews and meta-analysis. She received several awards and
fellowships for her research including the SRIF Biennial Best Doctoral Student
Research Award and a Marie Curie grant. She is a member of various scientific
associations and she is particularly involved with the European Association for
Research in Adolescence (EARA) in which she is the secretary, and with the
Society for the Study of Emerging Adulthood (SSEA), in which she is a member of
the Governing council.
