Striving to improve the health and well-being of families and communities by conducting research
12/29/2020
2020 has confronted our communities with quite a few challenges. Reflecting on this year, however, there are quite a few things we can be grateful for. Thanks to the participation of our incredible families, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have recognized the importance of our study. We have discovered many important things thanks to the participation of our amazing participating families. For instance, we have learned that children’s language skills may help them control their behavior (Petersen, Bates, & Staples, 2015) and develop social skills (Petersen & LeBeau, in press), which may make it less likely to develop aggression. This knowledge may lead to more effective approaches to prevent or treat aggression. We would not be able to conduct our study without the time and effort that our participating families and our hard-working research assistants give.
The pandemic has affected so many people in so many ways. Families have lost loved ones, childcare options have become restricted and many have had to work at the frontlines in schools and healthcare systems. Others have lost jobs and people have become more isolated from one another in order to stay safe. This is a difficult and trying time, and we want to do whatever we can to support you. In response to COVID, our lab has moved online. However, we are currently developing safety protocols, so that we can keep families and the research team safe when we resume lab visits. We cannot wait to finally welcome our amazing participating families back into our lab.
Stay safe & we hope to see you soon.
We wish you a very Happy New Year!

Developmental Psychopathology Lab
What We Study
The Developmental Psychopathology Lab conducts research to understand how children develop behavior problems as well as positive adjustment. We have been particularly interested in externalizing behavior problems, such as aggressive, disruptive, and noncompliant behavior. We focus on the development of individual differences in self-regulation skills and the consequences of children’s self-regulation skills for their school readiness. The goal of our lab is to improve understanding of how children develop behavior problems and positive adjustment from a very early age. We place special emphasis on the earlydevelopment of behavior problems before later, more severe, and more stable behavior problems develop, which may lead to improved intervention and prevention approaches.
