Dr. Lloyd Talley is a mixed-methods developmental psychologist
and interdisciplinary social policy researcher. He focuses on the
intersections of social and life course identity development as a
lens for meaning-making and in the prediction of educational,
behavioral, and mental health outcomes. He received his PhD in
applied psychology and human development and Master of Science in
Education from the University of Pennsylvania and his BA in
communication and culture from Howard University. Overall, he
seeks to develop complex models of human behavior which highlight
the central role of identity development and socialization
processes in behavioral patterns and social outcomes. Recently,
Talley has focused on exploring the within-group diversity of
Black populations by developing profiles of identity (racial,
gender, religious) and examining their relationship to patterns
in social and health outcomes.
