Ph.D., UCLA, 1973
Dr. Bates' primary research interests include: how common behavior problems develop, including overaggressive and overanxious problems; adjustment conceived more broadly, including personality, academic performance, and positive adjustment; developing effective means for preventing and treating common behavior problems, especially oppositional and defiant behavior problems in young children. Special topics include temperament, parent-child relations, and sleep disruption.
Lab Coordinator
Carly RussellB.S. Indiana University
Crown Point, IN
Carly will graduate from Indiana University in Dember 2011 having earned her B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Spanish. In the lab Carly oversees the daily activities within the lab, including the coordination of undergraduate research assistants and data collection for the Child Development Project and the Toddler Development Study. Her favorite part of working in the lab is conducting interviews with the toddler participants. She plans to attend Graduate School in August 2013 for a MS/Ed.S in School Psychology or Counseling Psychology. Ultimately she wants to develop a career as a child or adolescent therapist, specializing in internalizing behavior problems. In her spare time Carly enjoys spending time with her family, doing yoga, scrapbooking, reading, and traveling.
Graduate Students
Trista Chan
Area: Clinical Science
MPil, City University of Hong Kong, 2008
Trista Chan is a fourth-year graduate
student in the
Clinical Science Program. Her research interests include eating
disorders and
obesity. She has been investigating how sleep deprivation and
overweight are
related longitudinally using data from the Child Development Project.
Lately,
she is increasingly interested in the cognitive and motivational
aspects of
eating disorders and obesity. She is currently re-analyzing data of the
Iowa
Gambling Task (IGT) in groups of eating disordered and obese
individuals,
trying to tease apart the specific cognitive and motivational
mechanisms
involved in impaired IGT performances in different groups of eating
disordered
and obese individuals. She is interested in finding out what cognitive
and
motivational factors are leading to disordered eating behaviors; she
will be
doing a series of experimental studies testing the causal nature of
these
factors in disordered eating. Eventually, she wants to develop
intervention
programs that modify these cognitive and motivational factors and thus
help
eating disordered and obese individual regain control over their
eating.
Besides work, Trista enjoys running, baking, cooking, and shopping.

Isaac is a first-year graduate student in the Clinical Science program. His research interests include how children develop self-regulation as a function of parenting, temperament, language, and sleep, and how self-regulatory deficits in turn influence adjustment and school readiness. He is also interested in behavioral genetics, including gene-by-environment interactions in the development of internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. In his free time, Isaac enjoys reading, fishing, and playing sports, especially basketball, baseball, and football.

Kelly
is a fourth-year graduate
student in the Clinical Science
doctoral program and works primarily in Dr. Brian
D'Onofrio's Developmental Psychopathology lab.
She studies the predictors and outcomes associated with adolescent
sexual risk behavior through the use of longitudinal and genetically
informative analyses. She is also interested in sexual health education
and prevention programs as well as the relationship between mental and
sexual health in other high-risk populations, such as individuals
living with HIV. When she's not in the lab, Kelly likes to relax with
friends and family, cook and enjoy tasty food and drinks, and stay
healthy and in shape (and is trying to figure out how to reconcile
those last two
things!).

Angela is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Virginia. Angela is working with Steven Boker in the Human Dynamics Lab learning about research on conversational dynamics, dynamical systems, and OpenMx. Angela is also working with John Nesselroade to apply a Dynamic Auto-regressive Factor Score Model with Idiographic Filtering to daily fluctuations in positive and negative affect. Angela is planning on combining her work at IU and UVA into a research program that focuses on co-regulation during conversations between parents and children throughout the lifespan. In her spare time, Angela enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading nonfiction, and cooking. She recently started running, but is not ready to say that she enjoys it (yet).

v.coryell@umiami.edu
Virginia is a clinical health psychology student at the University of Miami. Her dissertation examines eating styles, psychological distress, and metabolic syndrome. She is applying to internship sites with training in behavioral sleep medicine as this is her primary clinical and research interest. Although Virginia's interests have veered from the main focuses of the Bates lab, her first exposure to sleep and other health behaviors was during her time in this lab. And although she does not work with children anymore, she is a proud aunt and can't wait to informally assess her niece's self-regulatory behavior using the skills she obtained in lab!

The time I spent working with Dr. Bates and the Social Development Lab was one of the most fulfilling and rewarding times of my life (so far). It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from some of the greatest scientists in the field. Currently, I am a PhD student at Penn State in Sport Psychology. I am focusing on how emotions and emotion regulation influence motivation and behavior. The skills and curiosity for science I developed at I ndiana University continue to influence me everyday and I am so thankful for the opportunities I had in the lab. My advice for research assistants considering working with the lab is this: ask questions and be curious.
