Introduction
My research interests include examining parenting and the parent-child relationship across different timescales as a socialization context for the development of youth self-regulation and psychopathology. Additionally, I investigate what protective factors promote self-regulation and inhibit psychopathology risk amidst cultural (e.g., discrimination, acculturation) and familial (e.g., household chaos, family conflict) stressors, particularly in families of color.

Parent-child coregulation, thought to support children's burgeoning regulatory capacities, is the process by which parents and their children regulate one another through their goal-oriented behavior and expressed affect. Two particular coregulation patterns-dyadic contingency and dyadic flexibility-appear beneficial in early childhood, but their r...
El presente estudio examinó los recursos culturales en las familias latinas (es decir, valores, apoyo, afrontamiento de problemas) que pudieran haber contribuido a la capacidad de recuperación (resiliencia) familiar durante los primeros años de la pandemia por COVID-19. Los datos de la encuesta se recopilaron desde octubre de 2020 hasta septiembre...
Objective: This study examined the associations between cultural stressors (i.e., foreigner-based discrimination and acculturation gap conflict) and mother–adolescent relational conflict and the moderating effects of youth coping on these relations. Method: Within a sample of 175 Latinx mothers (Mage = 41.84 years; 88% born in Mexico) and adolescen...
The present study examined the moderating effects of parental meta‐emotion philosophy on the relation between family stress and youth internalizing symptoms. A two‐study approach was applied to explore these relations in socioeconomically diverse samples with respect to a self‐reported parental emotion coaching (EC) and parental emotion dismissing...
Language proficiencies have implications for how parents and children can communicate effectively and how culture and heritage can be transferred across generations. Previous research has sought to understand the relationship between parent language (mainstream, heritage) proficiencies and the ethnic‐racial orientation of their children, though pri...
Racially ethnically marginalized communities in the United States are exposed to structural and interpersonal forms of racism that have harmful effects on their health, wealth, education, and employment (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Racism and Health . https://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/racism‐disparities/index.html , 2021). Although...
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is known for disruptions in mother-child interaction, but possible underlying patterns of micro-behavior are barely understood. This is the first study examining behavioral dyadic synchrony—the coordinated and reciprocal adaptation of behavior—and regulation on a micro-level and relating it to macro-behavior in...
In this 14‐day study, we tested whether Latinx adolescents’ (Mage = 12.76 years, 52% female; 52% U.S. born; N = 21) and parents’ (95% female; 24% U.S. born) daily discrimination experiences were associated with their own and other’s daily affective states. Results indicated that on days when adolescents reported discrimination, they reported higher...
Parent-child synchrony of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) varies by risk, but novel approaches are needed to capture individual contributions to synchrony. Multilevel state-trait modeling was applied to examine how parental psychological distress and parent and child average RSA during challenge (reflecting individual regulatory capacities) shap...
Parental depressive symptoms are associated with greater variability and inconsistency in parenting behavior as well as children’s emotional and behavioral dysregulation. The present study whether such relations extended to dyadic processes, examining whether maternal and paternal depressive symptoms at child age 3 ½ interacted with concurrent high...
We investigated what a dyadic framework added to Eisenberg, Cumberland, and Spinrad’s (1998) parental emotion socialization model based on the argument that the dynamic organization of emotion in the dyad is more than the sum of its parts and thus makes a unique contribution to emotion socialization. Preschoolers (N = 235) completed challenging pro...
Task persistence is related to attentional regulation and is needed for the successful transition to school. Understanding preschoolers’ task persistence with caregivers could better inform the development and prevention of attention problems across this transition. Preschoolers’ real-time task persistence profiles during problem-solving tasks with...
