Research Interest

:

My research examines the stressors faced by working poor families of diverse ethnic backgrounds and the impact these have on family processes (e.g., parenting and marital relationships) and well being. For example, the linkages between stressors in the workplace (including job quality, discrimination, and diversity issues), work family interference, and parent and child psychological functioning in low income African American and Latin American families.
