Natalie Markowitz Wittlin, Assistant Professor in Psychology
Professor Wittlin's research explores how people experience both their own and other people's genders, with a focus on affirmation and denial of identities. She has a particular interest in bodies and physical appearances and how they figure into gender-related psychological processes. Questions Professor Wittlin has explored in her research include: What stereotypes do cisgender people hold about transgender people's appearances? How do cis people respond to feedback about the gendered nature of their own physical appearances? Does the mental health of trans youth change as they take steps to align their bodies with their identities through medical transition? Professor Wittlin conducts research at the intersections of social, clinical, and developmental psychology and has also worked in the fields of public health and education. Her research is both experimental and correlational, and she works with both adults and adolescents, collecting data online, as well as face-to-face.
