Project: The Development of Childhood Risk-Taking: Parenting and Self-Regulation in a Sociocultural Context
Few studies have identified pathways to childhood risk-taking. This longitudinal study of 250 parent-child dyads evaluated associations between positive parenting (4yr), children's behavior and emotion regulation (6yr), and risk-taking (10yr). Positive parenting and behavior regulation were related to higher risk-taking, whereas emotion regulation was related to lower risk-taking. Both regulatory processes mediated this relation. However, the indirect path through emotion regulation was significant only among Hispanics and those who were not in poverty. Findings suggest that risk-taking may be adaptive in select contexts. Findings highlight the adaptive heterogeneity of childhood risk-taking, encourage investigation of these processes during childhood, and suggest that efforts incorporate parenting and regulatory processes to promote adaptive and reduce maladaptive risk-taking.

Project: Maltreatment, emotion regulation, and non-suicidal self-injury: Statistical approaches for highly skewed data.
Project evaluated methods for addressing highly skewed data, a violation of regression assumptions, to model self-injury (SI) among college students (N = 2,651) as predicted by reports of child maltreatment (CM), and as mediated by emotion regulation issues (ER). This paper examined a)natural log, square-root, and inverse transformations to reduce skew, b)zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) and negative-binomial zero-inflated (NBZI) regression to account for disproportionate zero values, and d)the skew-T distribution to account for skewness. ER significantly mediated CM on SI, and CM significantly predicted ER levels. However, the direct relation between CM to SI was positive among all raw, transformation, and ZIP approaches, but negative for the NBZI and skew-T approaches. This could be due to differences in the processes that lead to endorsing as compared to frequency of SI

Project: Sexual risk-taking (RT) among recently emancipated female foster youth: Sexual trauma and failed family reunification experiences. 
Foster youth evidence shows elevated rates of risk behaviors, including sexual RT (e.g., unprotected sex). Some studies have identified child maltreatment, particularly sexual abuse, as a risk for later sexual RT, but none have examined how child welfare placement experiences relate to youth's sexual RT. This study investigated relations among child maltreatment, child welfare placements, and sexual RT among 114 recently emancipated female foster youth. Sexual abuse and failed reunifications with parents were associated with greater sexual RT. Moreover, dissociative symptoms exacerbated the relation between sexual abuse and sexual RT. These findings highlight the need for greater consideration of risks associated with emancipated youth's sexual risk-taking and for more research to understand how youth experience unsuccessful family reunifications.

Project: The influence of collectivism in attitudes about smoking among Hispanic youth
Increasing health-related problems have already been documented among the Hispanic community and its youth. This master's project examined the role of collectivism in influencing healthy attitudes towards smoking among Hispanic youth. Using a pretest-posttest design, two curricula about smoking were developed and implemented among Hispanic sixth graders. Both curricula contained knowledge-based facts. But the collectivist curriculum included an interdependent perspective.  One’s decisions and behaviors affect one’s collective unit.  Preliminary results show that the collectivist-oriented program helps youth in developing healthy attitudes about smoking.
