Predictors and Outcomes of Parenting during Adolescence
Longitudinal and experimental research on parenting, mother-adolescent relations, and maternal and teen well-being during adolescence.
Why do parents parent as they do? How and why does parenting change during the transition to adolescence? What are the effects of different parenting practices on adolescents? Our research addresses these questions.

Body Image and Disordered Eating among Adolescents
Basic and applied (intervention) research, concerning family and peer factors in body image
Special emphasis on mother-daughter relations and adolescent girls' body-image and eating-related outcomes.
What are the connections between mother and daughter body image? How might a mother support her daughter's positive body image? What are the processes that connect family and peer influences to body image? Our research addresses these questions.

Computerized cognitive intervention for ADHD
ADHD
Cognitive underpinnings of ADHD
Interventions for adolescents with ADHD (cognitive and family-based)
Basic research on parenting and well-being when youth and/or their parents have ADHD.
How do models of working memory (WM) account for ADHD? Can cognitive, WM interventions reduce ADHD symptoms? How is parenting affected by ADHD? Can parenting interventions help families experiencing ADHD? Our research addresses these questions.
Working Memory Training for adolescents
Our team recently received a grant from the Department of Education to improve computerized working memory training for young adolescents.
Can working memory (WM) be strengthened among adolescents? Does improvement in WM translate to improved academic performance, increased executive functioning, and enhanced emotion and behavior regulation? What are mechanisms underlying potential effects?
Our research addresses these questions.
