Professor Reuma Gadassi-Polack seeks to examine whether children’s emotional difficulties can also affect their parents’ mental health. This question lies at the heart of the Child2Parent project, in which Gadassi-Polack will develop the first mechanistic model of symptom transmission from child to parent. The study will focus on processes that unfold in everyday life, particularly on how parents help their children regulate their emotions—that is, modify the intensity and duration of emotional experiences and the ways in which they are expressed.

My lab investigates the development of emotional competencies that are fundamental to mental health and adaptive functioning across the lifespan: the ability to respond emotionally in contextually appropriate ways and to regulate emotions when their intensity becomes maladaptive. We focus primarily on adolescence, a critical period for emotional development, examining both typical and atypical developmental trajectories. Recognizing that emotional development is inherently interpersonal, we study these processes within key relationship contexts - including interactions with parents, siblings, and peers. Recognizing that emotional development has a strong neurobiological basis, our research employs a multi-method approach to capture the complex nature of emotional processes, combining ecological momentary assessment for real-time emotional experiences with objective measures of neurobiological functioning through fMRI and hormonal analyses (cortisol and oxytocin)
