About the author:

My research focuses on understanding parents’ beliefs about childrearing and discipline, including how parents obtain and evaluate information about parenting.

What I want to achieve:

My hope is that through a greater understanding of how parents perceive scientific information about childrearing, we can develop more convincing evidence-based messages about discipline to ultimately change U.S. public opinion of physical punishment.
