About the Editors
Robert E. Larzelere, PhD, is a professor of human
development and family science at Oklahoma State University. He has
done research on parental discipline of young children for over 30
years and has collaborated with others to improve the methods used
to support social scientific conclusions more generally. His
research focuses particularly on comparing the emphasis on
consistent consequences in some scientific perspectives on
parenting with the emphasis on gentle verbal correction predominant
in other scientific perspectives. He recently collaborated with
Diana Baumrind to clarify the long-term effects of authoritative
parenting and the specific types of power assertion that
differentiate it from authoritarian parenting. He benefited from
postdoctoral research training from Drs. Murray Straus and Gerald
Patterson.
Amanda Sheffield Morris, PhD, is a professor of human
development and family science at Oklahoma State University. She is
a developmental scientist with research interests in parenting,
emotion regulation, and developmental psychopathology. Her research
focuses on the role of emotion regulation in child and adolescent
adjustment and the ways in which children learn successful
regulation skills. She was mentored by Drs. Laurence Steinberg and
Nancy Eisenberg in her doctoral and postdoctoral work at Temple
University and Arizona State University.
Amanda W. Harrist, PhD, is an associate professor of human
development and family science at Oklahoma State University. Her
research centers on the development of children's social
competence, specifically the early social antecedents of children's
competence and maladjustment exhibited in preschool and the early
years of school, and the role that social cognition plays as a
mediator. To this end, she has explored the relation of children's
behavior in the peer group to early family interactions
(parent–child and marriage), observed both naturalistically and in
the laboratory. She also is interested in interventions for
children at risk in early social settings and has pursued this
through several funded projects, most recently in the Families &
Schools for Health Project, a longitudinal study of the family and
rural school contexts of child obesity. She worked with Drs.
Gregory Pettit, Kenneth Dodge, and John Bates while at the
University of Tennessee.
