Jennifer is interested parent-child synchrony (e.g., where parents and adolescents feel, act, and/or physiologically respond in similar ways together) across modalities (emotional, behavioral, and physiological) and time scales (momentary, daily, and eventually monthly) in order to better understand the role of this attunement in the development of healthy relationships and the mental health of parents and youth.
