| Submission declined on 15 March 2025 by Velella (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Velella 3 months ago. | |
Comment: Please stop resubmitting the article before you deal with the reason why it has previously been declined. All you have done since the last decline is add a reference to IMDb, which is not reliable per WP:IMDb and certainly does not prove notability.

Anahid S. Modrek (Armenian: Անահիտ Սանտալճևան մoտրէգ) is an Armenian American psychologist. She is tenure track faculty at California State University at San Bernardino in the Department of Psychology.[1]
Dr. Modrek was awarded the Deeper Learning Fellowship with the American Institutes for Research[2] and American Educational Research Association[3], a project funded by the Hewlett Foundation where Dr. Modrek was principal investigator studying learning outcomes.[4][5][6]
In 2024, Dr. Modrek was invited to serve as an Editorial Fellow for American Psychological Association's journal, Developmental Psychology[7] and currently serves as an Editorial Board member for journals Learning & Instruction [8] and Learning and Individual Differences.[9]
Biography
[edit]Modrek completed a Bachelors degree at the University of California, Berkeley under the mentorship of Robert Reich. Modrek simultaneously worked as a researcher for the Greater Good Science Center under the mentorship of Dacher Keltner[10], and multiple labs in the Department of Psychology.
At the age of 25 Modrek received her PhD in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University, under Deanna Kuhn[11]. Modrek went on to a National Science Foundation postdoctoral scholar position, under William A. Sandoval[12], subsequently completing postdoctoral fellowships at University of California, Los Angeles and University of California, San Diego, as well as a micro-sabbatical at Princeton University [13], [14].
Prior to her current tenure track position, Dr. Modrek began tenure track in the Psychology Department at Thomas Jefferson University[15][16], and taught in the Department of Psychology as faculty at University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University.
Early Life
[edit]Modrek grew up figure skating competitively [17], and is granddaughter of musician and microminiature sculptor Hagop Sandaldjian.
Film
[edit]Modrek is featured in At Berkeley, a documentary film by Frederick Wiseman shot while Modrek was an undergraduate at the institution.[18][19]
Research
[edit]Modrek's research spans developmental psychology, cognitive science, and education by examining the interplay between self-regulation and executive functioning, socio-cultural factors, and inductive reasoning in relation to real-world outcomes. This spans early childhood to adolescence, employing both laboratory and field-based methodologies.[20][21]
