Profile
Dr. Gondoli's research interests focus on adolescent development within family and peer contexts with a special emphasis on parenting practices and the determinants of parenting. Currently, she is completing a 6-year longitudinal study of adolescent and mother adjustment as children make the transition to adolescence. Aims of this project include examining how mothers' adapt their parenting as their children become teenagers, and determining whether certain forms of adaptation are more or less beneficial for mother and adolescent well-being and the mother-adolescent relationship. In addition, recent projects in collaboration with Dr. Bradley Gibson focus on ADHD during middle childhood and early adolescence. Aims of these studies are to understand the cognitive processes involved in ADHD, particularly working memory; examine intersections between training of working memory and improvement within other realms of regulation such as emotion regulation; and assess whether improvements in cognitive regulation among children and early-adolescents with ADHD may be linked with growth in psychosocial maturity (e.g., autonomy, independence, perceived competence).
