The Sex & Gender Lab in Cornell University’s Department of Human Development is primarily focused on the biological, psychological, and social/cultural processes underlying sexual and gender development and their interdependence among individuals of all sexualities and genders. The focus is primarily on the diverse developmental trajectories, identity development, gender nonconformity, and peer/family relations of sexual minorities. The emphasis is on individual flourishing and adjustment and not on pathology. Members of the Sex & Gender Lab use a variety of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including in-depth interviews, internet surveys, questionnaires, observations, and secondary data analysis.
