Radliff's research has focused on two areas within school psychology: mental health and social justice. Specific to mental health, she examines aggressive behavior (e.g., bullying, relational aggression) and related factors (e.g., internalizing issues, cognitive or psychosocial constructs, and substance use) that affect students’ educational experiences. Her research related to social justice encompasses the following areas: evaluation of the integration of a social justice philosophy into graduate student training and examining mental health issues through a social justice lens. This research is connected to social-ecological theory and a social justice philosophy.
