Graduate students Yelim Hong and Sarah McCormick publish paper on parenting, household chaos, and child emotion regulation

Congratulations to graduate students Yelim Hong and Sarah McCormick who just published a paper at the journal Social Development, in collaboration with Prof. Martha Ann Bell at Virginia Tech (PI of the study) and IDDLab Director Kirby Deater-Deckard. The study showed that there is a link between supportive or non-supportive parenting behaviors and better/poorer child emotion regulation in middle childhood–and that this process may be overwhelmed at younger ages when levels of household chaos are high.
