Ran (Rachel) Yan

LIFE Fellow since 2024, University of Michigan

I am a developmental Ph.D. student studying under the guidance of Adriene Beltz at the Methods, Sex Differences, and Development M(SD) Lab. My current research focuses on exploring the diverse experiences related to gender using intensive longitudinal methods. In particular, I am interested in examining the bio-psycho-social context of gender and its impact on daily behavioral and psychological outcomes.

Dissertation project:

Heterogeneity in daily relations between gender expression and depression
