Welcome to the Family & Child Development Lab!
Welcome to the Family and Child Development Laboratory! The lab is under the direction of Ashley M. Groh, Ph.D., and was founded in 2014. We are located at the University of Missouri in Noyes Hall and are affiliated with the Department of Psychological Sciences. This website is intended to provide parents and researchers with information about the scientific activities of our lab. Please take a look around to learn more about who we are and what we do.
Research conducted in our lab focuses on the developmental origins of the quality of parent-child relationships and legacy of these relationships for social and emotional development. We apply a biopsychosocial perspective to understand the mechanisms by which early interpersonal experiences are carried forward across development and generations. The goals of our research are to provide insight into the ways in which early interpersonal experiences might serve as an organizing force in development across the lifespan and to identify the mechanisms by which adversity with close relationships might be overcome.
