About Amanda

Dr. Amanda Duffy is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Applied Psychology at Griffith University, where she has built her academic career following the completion of her PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2005. She lectures in social psychology, supervises honours and postgraduate students on research projects related to peer relations, and contributes to initiatives within the Griffith Centre for Mental Health and the Violence Research and Prevention Program. Duffy's research centers on social groups and relationships among children, adolescents, and young adults. She is particularly interested in the social dynamics of bullying and victimization, including how peer group processes, social identities, group norms, and empathy influence aggressive and defending behaviors. Her work also explores cyber-victimization and cyber-bullying on social network sites, appearance-related pressures from social media leading to body image concerns in young women, the effectiveness of self-compassion and self-esteem interventions, and young adults' self-regulatory responses to career goal discrepancies.
