Research Interests:  

Schatz's research interests are focused on understanding family processes, especially those related to children's development and elucidating factors that can be targets for prevention and intervention programming. From a developmental psychopathology framewor, her research has examined multiple influences on parenting and child functioning - investigating processes, versus static constructs, that are influential in determining outcomes, especially for high-risk families.
