My research focuses on family and peer processes and their relationship to child and adolescent mental health, specifically self-esteem. I am particularly interested in how maternal depression and behavior problems of children interact to influence child outcomes. I currently am analyzing data collected during pregnancy and postpartum from a sample of women and their infants to examine whether maternal depression is associated with the ability to recognize facial emotions and with maternal-infant interactions.
