Associate Professor of Human Development and Family Studies
Ph.D., The University of Tennessee, 2000
Professor Gerard's research focuses on pre- and early adolescent development and the social factors that pose a risk to psychological
growth during these periods. Her current work includes analyses of how parents' marital hostility "spills over" into their
children's lives and fuels the development of youth problem behaviors youth maladjustment. She is also using the National
Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (ADD Health) to study the combined effects of individual, family and environmental
characteristics on child development. A primary aim of this work is to identify protective factors that buffer youth from
the deleterious influence of cumulative risk exposure.
