Description of scholarly program and ongoing research

My ongoing research, which is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the

National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station (AAES),

focuses on associations among family risk and child outcomes in psychological adjustment,

physical health, sleep processes, cognitive functioning, and academic performance domains.

Utilizing a developmental psychopathology approach, my research has focused on explicating the

mechanisms and variables that can either exacerbate or attenuate risk and explain differential

outcomes in children exposed to family adversity.

Collectively, my research has emphasized a biopsychosocial approach for the

development of adjustment, social, cognitive, physical health, and sleep problems in the context

of family risk, especially the role of physiological and biological regulation. Specifically, child

functioning is best predicted by examining interactions between the family environment and

child. Investigations of interactions between social and psychophysiological factors in the

prediction of child outcomes are needed to shed light on the complex nature of the interplay

among risk and protective factors that are precursors of both beneficial and detrimental

developmental trajectories for children in various domains. Such knowledge is imperative for

understanding associations between exposure to familial risk and child development, and is

critical for effective and efficient prevention and intervention efforts that are so important due to

the high prevalence of these risk factors in the population. A recognized feature of my research is

its multi- and inter-disciplinary nature, and my research has received attention for building

bridges across several disciplines concerned with child health including child development,

developmental psychopathology, pediatric sleep medicine, and the study of multiple domains of

biological and physiological regulation.

My research program focuses on examinations of children's emotional expression and

physiological reactivity examined through sympathetic arousal, and regulation, with a focus on

the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, but including several physiological systems

(hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis), affective, behavioral, cognitive, and coping

strategies, as pathways and moderators of associations between family risk and child functioning

cross-sectionally and longitudinally. My studies have addressed multiple familial risk factors for

negative child outcomes including parental alcoholism, parental depression, parent-child conflict,

El-Sheikh 5

marital conflict and violence, insecure child-parent attachments, and disrupted parenting

practices.

My research program has expanded to include sleep regulation in children with an interest

in (a) understanding children s sleep in the context of family functioning and the broader socio-

cultural milieu (e.g., ethnicity, economic adversity), and (b) elucidating the role of sleep

problems in connecting both family functioning and children s physiological reactivity and

regulation with children s well-being and development across multiple domains.
