Selva is a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute for Applied
Research in Youth Development, working in the 4-H Study. She
received a B.A. degree from Tel-Aviv University and a M.A degree
from University of Chicago, both in Social Work with a clinical
concentration, and a Ph.D. in Applied Developmental Psychology from
Boston College. Selva has clinical experience with children,
adolescents, and parents, in the civil and military settings. Her
research focuses on how family dynamics and monetary resources
affect the lives of children and parents. Particularly, her research
focuses on fatherhood, and has a three-fold purpose: understanding
how fathers parent and why, understanding how fathering affects
fathers themselves, and understanding the role of fathers in
children's and adolescents' development. Selva is interested in the
policy applications of research, particularly for economically
disadvantaged families.
