fellowship at the Office of Population Research and Center for Research on Child Wellbeing of Princeton University. She joined
the Bowling Green faculty in 2000. Her areas of expertise include social psychology, family sociology, gender, and quantitative

child support policies, and the quality of survey data. She is currently looking at the long-term consequences of growing
up in a single-parent family on next generation parenting and the patterns and determinants of reciprocal helping behavior
between generations in American and Taiwanese families.
