Program: Developmental

Research Interest: Weaver's research has focused on (1) the effects of exposure to violence on the development of delinquency and violent behaviors among children of adolescent mothers, (2) the effects of parenting and family dynamics on infant development and adjustment during early childhood, and (3) the individual and contextual risk and protective factors that serve to mitigate or exacerbate these relationships.
