Research Statement

As an overarching goal of my career, I seek to leverage knowledge from both evolutionary biology and developmental science to address core issues in developmental psychopathology, especially in relation to child and adolescent health. At a macro level, this involves theory development: advancing new models of how our biobehavioral systems respond to specific features of family environments and the larger ecological context.  This work employs life history theory to model how these responses regulate stress-health relations over the life course.  At a more micro level, my work focuses on theory testing: examining the impact of fathers, family relationships, and socioecological conditions on children’s biological stress responses, timing of puberty, risky adolescent behavior and cognition, and related health outcomes.  Although my research has shown replicable effects of families and ecological stress on these developmental outcomes, the size of these effects differs across individuals. That is, some children are more impacted by their rearing experiences than are others. Another focus of my research, therefore, is on investigating differences between children in their neurobiological susceptibility to environmental influence (i.e., biological sensitivity to context).  My work involves both basic research and real-world applications in the form of theoretically-based interventions.
