Research Profile

Gondoli's research interests focus on adolescent development within family and peer contexts with a special emphasis on parenting practices and the determinants of parenting. Currently, she is directing a five-year longitudinal study of adolescent and mother adjustment as children make the transition to adolescence. Aims of this project include examining how mothers adapt their parenting as their children become teenagers and determining whether certain forms of adaptation are more or less beneficial for mother and adolescent well-being and the mother-adolescent relationship.
