Anne Maheux, Ph.D.

Hello! My name is Anne (“Annie”) Maheux. I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Winston Family Distinguished Fellow at the Winston Center on Technology and the Developing Mind. I direct the Social Environments & Adolescence Lab.

My research examines sociocultural and technological influences on adolescent development. Our work aims to contribute to conceptual and methodological challenges in the field of adolescent digital use, determine longitudinal and bidirectional links between digital media use and adjustment, and uncover the complexities of how individual difference factors shape these processes. 

To achieve these aims, I use novel methodologies and cutting-edge quantitative techniques, and am committed to making advanced statistical techniques accessible to others through teaching and mentorship. I am also passionate about community, social justice, and service work in my research, teaching, and professional roles.
