Rate My Professor Amori Mikami

Dr. Mikami directs the Promoting Equitable, Affirming Relationships Lab (PEARL), focusing on peer relationships in youth, particularly those with ADHD. Her research explores how supportive classroom and home environments facilitate friendships, designs interventions like Parental Friendship Coaching to train parents and teachers, and addresses barriers to mental health services for equity-deserving groups, such as Asian Canadian youth with ADHD. Recent studies examine social media's role in mental health, including ADHD misinformation on TikTok and strategies for well-being like intentional use over quitting. Key publications include the book Parents as Friendship Coaches for Children with ADHD: A Clinical Guide (Routledge, 2022); Logging Out or Leaning In? Social Media Strategies for Enhancing Well-Being (Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2025); A Double-Edged Hashtag: Evaluation of #ADHD-Related TikTok Content (PLoS ONE, 2025); and Social Functioning in Youth with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Clinical Psychology Review, 2019). Her work, cited over 14,000 times, blends basic science with practical interventions to promote inclusive peer groups and reduce stigma.
