Angela is a last-year graduate student in the Developmental Psychology program with a minor in Clinical Science. Her primary research area focuses on the development of self-regulation across the lifespan as it relates to interaction between parents and children under varying degrees of stress. In addition, Angela has a strong interest in methods for quantifying individual differences, which lead her to pursue additional training in Applied Statistics. In her spare time, Angela enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading nonfiction, and cooking.

Trista is a second-year graduate student in the clinical science program. Her research interests are primarily eating and weight problems including eating disorders, obesity, and overeating in general. She is currently looking at the association between sleep problems and weight with the data from the Child Development Project. Her personal interests resemble her research interests. She enjoys eating and sleeping when she is not at work. She also likes shopping a lot, from clothes to groceries. She feels alive when she is surrounded by fashion and good food, two things that her home town is famous for.

Kelly
is a fourth-year graduate
student in the Clinical Science
doctoral program and works primarily in Dr. Brian
D'Onofrio's Developmental Psychopathology lab.
She studies the predictors and outcomes associated with adolescent
sexual risk behavior through the use of longitudinal and genetically
informative analyses. She is also interested in sexual health education
and prevention programs as well as the relationship between mental and
sexual health in other high-risk populations, such as individuals
living with HIV. When she's not in the lab, Kelly likes to relax with
friends and family, cook and enjoy tasty food and drinks, and stay
healthy and in shape (and is trying to figure out how to reconcile
those last two
things!).

Virginia is a clinical health psychology student at the University of Miami. Her dissertation examines eating styles, psychological distress, and metabolic syndrome. She is applying to internship sites with training in behavioral sleep medicine as this is her primary clinical and research interest. Although Virginia's interests have veered from the main focuses of the Bates lab, her first exposure to sleep and other health behaviors was during her time in this lab. And although she does not work with children anymore, she is a proud aunt and can't wait to informally assess her niece's self-regulatory behavior using the skills she obtained in lab!

The time I spent working with Dr. Bates and the Social Development Lab was one of the most fulfilling and rewarding times of my life (so far). It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from some of the greatest scientists in the field. Currently, I am a PhD student at Penn State in Sport Psychology. I am focusing on how emotions and emotion regulation influence motivation and behavior. The skills and curiosity for science I developed at I ndiana University continue to influence me everyday and I am so thankful for the opportunities I had in the lab. My advice for research assistants considering working with the lab is this: ask questions and be curious.
