My research focuses on social, emotional, and cognitive development during adolescence.
My overarching interest is in predictors and outcomes of parenting during adolescence, with related interests in maternal well-being. My work includes basic and applied approaches, and I employ cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental designs. I study both typically- and atypically-developing adolescents and their parents. Specific topics of interest include mother-adolescent relations, parenting, body image and eating disorders, and ADHD.

My research has broadly focused on adolescent development in the family context, with emphases on process-oriented models of parent and adolescent adjustment and maladjustment, the determinants and consequences of parenting, and the design and implementation of parenting interventions. I am particularly interested in (1) how, why, when, and for whom problematic, yet nonpathological eating- and weight-related attitudes and behaviors may escalate into more severe issues along the disordered eating continuum, (2) the synchronized timing of daughters’ transition to adolescence and mothers’ transition to midlife as a context for the reciprocal transmission of weight concerns and restrictive eating practices, and (3) improving the potency and yield of prevention programs and targeted interventions aimed at helping girls and women to feel good about themselves and their bodies, and to engage in physical activity and healthy eating for self-nurturing, rather than weight-loss, purposes.

My research interests include adolescent body image and eating disorder development. Specifically I am interested in social and relationship factors involved in the development of poor body image, such as the mother-daughter relationship, and media and social comparison processes. I am also interested in the development of intervention strategies targeting these processes in adolescence.

Research interests include the etiology, development, and treatment of psychopathology in childhood and adolescence. I am particularly interested in ADHD and the relationships between the disorder and familial and cognitive factors. Additional interests include the design and evaluation of evidence-based interventions, community education programs, and psychological measures.
