The overarching goal of the Development and Psychopathology Lab is to examine contextual factors that facilitate and/or impede development in youth in an effort to contribute to the development and refinement of prevention and intervention programs for youth. Guided by the notion that development is best informed by studying pathways that lead to both adaptation and maladaptation, our research specifically investigates emotion regulation processes in typical and atypically developing child populations and incorporates a multi-reporter and multimethod assessment strategy (questionnaires, behavioral observations, electronic diaries, physiological assessment).
