Biographical Sketch: Margaret Rosario, Ph.D., is a Professor in Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Social/Personality Psychology at The City University of New York (CUNY)–The City College and Graduate Center. Her research interests are in two broad and related areas. She is concerned with identity, its implications for mental and physical health, and the intervening processes that moderate or explain the links between identity and health. These concerns are pursued through an active program of research on sexual identity development as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Professor Rosario’s second (and related) research area includes the influence of exposure to violence on a host of adaptational and health-related outcomes among adolescents. Potential mediators and moderators of these relations are of critical interest. Professor Rosario is the recipient of research grants, as principal- or co-investigator, from the National Institutes of Health and CUNY. She has been at CUNY since September 1997. Professor Rosario did her postdoctoral training at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, her doctorate at New York University, and her bachelor’s at Princeton University.
