Emotion socialization is the idea that learning, understanding, expressing, and regulating emotions happens in social contexts. This process directly connects with future socioemotional outcomes for children. Dr. Xin Feng will discuss her recent study of how fathers uniquely contribute to this development in 3- and 4-year-old children. Dr. Feng’s research centers on the interplay of temperament, emotion regulation, parent-child interaction, and contextual influences (e.g., parental mental health and culture) in the development of adaptive and maladaptive socioemotional functioning throughout childhood.

Crane Research Forum: Tax Policies and Child Development Webinar
Please join us for the September Crane Research Forum with Dr. Lauren Jones, Crane Center faculty affiliate and assistant professor in both the Department of Human Sciences and the John Glenn College of Public Affairs.
A family’s socio-economic status is often evaluated as a predictor of a child’s future educational, health, and professional outcomes. Because tax policies directly impact household finances, Dr. Lauren Jones will discuss what we know about how household income and tax policies affect child well-being.
For accommodation requests such as live captioning or interpretation, please indicate as you register. Requests made by Monday, August 30 will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
