Biography

My research interests include child social-emotional development in the family context and fathering behaviors. My research focuses on fathers’, mothers’, and children’s own contributions in social-emotional development. Informed by a family systems perspective and developmental psychopathology perspective, I am particularly interested in understanding what behaviors and characteristics of fathers and mothers, together with family dynamics, may collectively cultivate adaptive emotional skills and protect against biological vulnerabilities. I also examine the factors that collectively and interactively shape fathers’ and mother’s parenting behaviors and adjustment at the transition to parenthood. I incorporate advanced quantitative methods into my substantive work to address innovative questions about parenting and child development, and to model the complex reality more precisely. I apply structural equation modeling (SEM) and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) in longitudinal data, dyadic/hierarchical data, and physiological data to understand how family processes and dynamics shape child development over time. I apply methodological expertise not only through conducting research, but also via teaching, mentoring, consulting, and developing research collaborations.
