Profile
Dr. Gondoli’s research interests focus on adolescent development within the family context with a special emphasis on parenting practices and the determinants of parenting. She has recently completed a 6-year longitudinal study of adolescent and mother adjustment as children make the transition to adolescence 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. She and Dr. Alexandra Corning are currently launching studies focused on mothers’ parenting practices as risk and protective factors in the development of body image disturbances and disordered eating among young adolescents. In addition, recent projects in collaboration with Dr. Bradley Gibson focus on children and adolescents with ADHD. Aims of these studies are to understand cognitive processes underlying ADHD; examine intersections between training of working memory and improvement in ADHD symptoms; assess whether improvements in executive functioning may predict growth in psychosocial maturity (e.g., autonomy); and link executive functioning to parenting.
