Bridget C. Ph. My research focuses on issues pertaining to social and emotional development, primarily during middle childhood. I am particularly interested in children's emotional, behavioral, and cognitive reactions in the context of peer conflict. Related research focuses on children's processing of social situations, links between children's social cognition and behavior, and ways in which children's social cognitive processes are affected by their emotional experiences.
Projects involve cross-sectional as well as longitudinal designs.
Young children's emotionality, regulation and social functioning and their responses whey they are targets of a peer's anger.
