Parenting, Parent-Child Relations, and Child Outcomes
A number of faculty within HDFS study parenting, coparenting, and parent-child relationships, either as outcomes predicted by developmental history, socio-cultural forces, or individual factors, or as predictors of development in such domains as self-regulation, attachment, cognitive/academic, socio-emotional functioning, and risk behavior. Parenting processes are studied both in terms of parenting quality and specific parenting practices and routines, across multiple levels of analysis.
