Research focuses on the development of epistemology or individuals' concepts of knowing and knowledge, and the manner in which these assumptions about knowing relate to individuals' social, cognitive, and behavioral development in organizations (e.g., schools and work), families, and communities.

The Family Development Laboratory at the University of Vermont examines ways that characteristics of parents, children, and context interact to contribute to children's development of emotion regulation, coping, and physiological stress reactivity. We also examine ways that parent socialization contributes to children's risk for and resilience to psychopathology such as depression, as well as factors that influence parenting styles and behaviors.

We study child characteristics, such as temperament, that elevate children's risk of difficulties when exposed to family-related stress; neural, adrenocortical, emotional, and cognitive mechanisms underlying this elevated risk; and children's influence on family-related stressors.

Social Development Laboratory

|
Areas
|
The Social Development Laboratory focuses on the development of aggressive behaviors in children. We examine forms of aggression that are more common among girls (relational aggression; e.g., gossip, social exclusion) in addition to forms more typical in boys (physical aggression). Current research studies explore potential risk factors for involvement in physically and relationally aggressive behaviors.
