Developmental Psychology
 Primary Research Areas
Impact of prenatal substance exposure and the postnatal environment on developmental outcomes, specifically variations in parent-child interactions, attachment, and social-emotional development (self-regulation, peer interactions).
Current Projects
Maternal Substance Use and Toddler Self-Regulation (funded by NIDA). Influences of prenatal cocaine and other substance use on developmental trajectories for self-regulation from toddler to kindergarten age (in collaboration with Co-investigators Craig Colder, Ph.D. UB Department of Psychology and Pamela Schuetze, Ph.D., Buffalo State College).
Prenatal & ETS Exposure: Effects on Child Regulation (funded by NIDA). The purpose of this longitudinal, multi-method study is to investigate the impact of prenatal exposure to cigarettes on the development of self-regulation over the first two years of life. Because most women who smoke cigarettes during pregnancy continue to smoke after delivery and have partners who smoke, children's exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) will also be examined (in collaboration with Pamela Schuetze, Ph.D., Buffalo State College; Craig Colder, Ph.D., UB Department of Psychology; Gerard Connors, Ph.D. and Kenneth E. Leonard, Ph.D.).
Parenting and Infant/Child Development in Alcoholic Families (funded by NIAAA).
The impact of fathers’ alcoholism on parenting and developmental outcomes during the early childhood years (in collaboration with Kenneth E. Leonard, Ph.D.)
