Biography edit

Canetto was born and raised in Italy.

Canetto completed a Clinical Psychology Internship at Ferrara Mental Health Services and Padova Psychiatric Hospital and received a Doctor of Psychology degree in the field of Experimental/Physiological Psychology from the University of Padova in 1977.

Between 1977 and 1980 Canetto was a post-doctoral researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Department of Oral Biology at the Hadassah Hospital in Israel. In 1983 Canetto received her M.A. in General Psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the mentorship of Judith R. Ganchrow and Ruth Guttman. From 1984 to 1985 she completed a Clinical Psychology internship at Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center. In 1987 she received a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, with a focus on older adults at Northwestern University Medical School under the supervision of David Gutmann.[12]

Between 1988 and 1991 Canetto was a visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Montana and the University of Vermont. She joined Colorado State University in 1991 and is affiliated with the Women's Interdisciplinary Studies, and Human Development and Family Studies Program. Since 2003 she has been a Full Professor at the Department of Psychology in Colorado State University. In 2007 she became an Affiliate Faculty of the Psychology Doctoral Program in Escuela de Postgrado (Graduate School) Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.[1]

Research edit

Canetto runs the Canetto Research Team at Colorado State University with a focus on gender and cultural diversity.[1][13] One of her interests focuses on cultural norms, stereotypes, and gender narratives for persistence, and success in science, technology, math and engineering (STEM). In longitudinal study of underrepresented individuals (e.g., women, low SES, and specific ethnic minorities) in the STEM major, Canetto suggests that mentoring programs may help increase academic self-efficacy of women and individuals with STEM-minority status at graduation.[14]

Another area of interest relates to cultural norms and diversity of gender and suicidal behaviors.[15] Other areas of interest includes stereotypes of gender, aging and sexual orientation;[16] and cultural and gender issues in human rights.[17]
