معرفی
Noel Card is a Professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Science at the University of Georgia’s College of Family and Consumer Sciences. His research focuses on developmental science, quantitative methods, and their intersections, particularly in child and adolescent social development (e.g., aggression, peer victimization) and advanced statistical techniques (e.g., meta-analysis, structural equation modeling). He holds editorial roles as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Research on Adolescence and previously served as Associate Editor for Developmental Psychology and Journal of Early Adolescence.
Card earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University (2004). His work emphasizes methodological rigor, with a focus on meta-analytic approaches to synthesize longitudinal and interdependent data. Key themes include the reliability of psychological measures, peer influence dynamics, and the application of statistical methods to developmental questions.
His publications span meta-analyses on aggression, peer victimization, mentoring program impacts, and methodological innovations. Recent work explores cultural influences on relationships, dyadic dynamics in marital satisfaction, and the effects of ignoring lags in developmental studies. Card’s research consistently bridges theoretical and applied domains, contributing to both academic discourse and practical interventions in adolescent development.
As an educator, he occasionally teaches courses on adolescent development, meta-analysis, and structural equation modeling. His expertise in quantitative research methodologies is reflected in books like Applied Meta-Analysis for Social Science Research (2012) and edited volumes on developmental research methods.
