Lindsay C. Malloy is an associate professor of forensic psychology at Ontario Tech University.[1] Malloy's research has focused on the negative experiences that children can face and how they can affect their abilities to recall memories.[1] Specifically, Malloy's research is used for implications in the legal system regarding children and their rights in interviews, interrogations, and more.[1]

Education and career

Malloy has a double undergraduate degree from Central Michigan University, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.[2] She graduated from Central Michigan University with both degrees in 2002.[3] Malloy received her Master of Arts in Social Ecology from the University of California, Irvine in 2004,[3] along with her PhD in Developmental Psychology from the same institution in 2008.[2] Malloy's dissertation was focused on children's views of the consequences of disclosing negative events, and she looked at maltreated and non-maltreated children.[3] Jodi Quas[4] was Malloy's doctoral dissertation research mentor.[3] Malloy completed postdoctoral work with Michael Lamb at the University of Cambridge from 2008-2010 in applied developmental psychology.[3][5] She worked with Florida International University for seven years as an assistant and associate professor, and she then moved to Ontario Tech University as an associate professor.[2]

Research

Malloy's research interests lie in developmental psychology, observing the behavior and patterns of children through adolescence, as well as any possible traumatic experiences they have encountered.[1] Within the legal realm, she has looked at how children are impacted during interrogations and eyewitness testimony.[1][6] Malloy's research has been included in a couple of Supreme Court amicus briefs.[7] Malloy recounts that it can be hard to make policy changes when in academia.[8] Malloy has published in several journals in her career thus far: Law and Human Behavior,[9] Child Development,[10] and Developmental Psychology.[11][1] She has also edited a book with her postdoctoral advisor, Michael Lamb, called Children's Testimony: A Handbook of Psychological Research and Forensic Practice.[12]

Within Malloy's area of interest, she has published articles regarding children in the legal field.[13] One such research study looked at the recantation of statements made by children regarding sexual abuse.[14] Malloy also has published on interviewing children in the legal field.[15][16][17]
