She is also Interim Chair of Psychology at the University of Michigan, and Director of the Gender and Achievement Research Program.
Over the past 30 years, Dr. Eccles has conducted research on a wide variety of topics including gender-role socialization, teacher expectancies, classroom influences on student motivation, and social development in the family and school context. Much of this work has focused on the adolescent periods of life when health-compromising behaviors such as smoking dramatically increase.
Dr. Eccles has served as the past Chair of the Advisory Committee for the Social, Behavioral and Economic Directorate at the National Science Foundation, and Chair of the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Successful Pathways Through Middle Childhood. She has also been Associate Editor of the journal Child Development, and has served on the faculty at Smith College, the University of Colorado, and the University of Michigan. In 1999, her work was honored by the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues with the Kurt Lewin Memorial Award for "outstanding contributions to the development and integration of psychological research and social action."
