Personal Profile
Path analysis of national adolescent data to test how ACEs and obesity relate to bullying through executive function, physical activity, and team participation.
Preliminary results: The SEM showed acceptable fit (CFI = 0.89, TLI = 0.948, RMSEA = 0.026). Executive function was the strongest predictor of bullying, and ACEs showed a significant indirect pathway through executive function.
Ecological mediation study assessing whether county-level child opportunity explains the link between single-parent household prevalence and school readiness outcomes.
Preliminary results: A one standard deviation increase in single-parent prevalence was associated with about a 3% drop in school readiness. Mediation analyses suggest around 40% of this negative association is explained by lower child opportunity.
Longitudinal latent growth modeling (2008-2025) examining how changes in executive function predict later emotional, behavioral, and health-related outcomes.
Preliminary results: Three-wave data harmonization and composite construction are complete, and initial growth models show clear between-person differences in baseline executive functioning. Early model runs suggest trajectory differences are likely meaningful for downstream emotional and behavioral outcomes.
