Curriculum vita

Assistant Professor of Family and Consumer Sciences

Ph.D., The Ohio State University, 1999

Dr. Leite's research addresses father-child relationship patterns with special attention to emotional aspects of men's relationships with their adult children and the psychosocial constructs of generativity and identity. His studies address the instrumental and expressive aspects of fathering, examining patterns among fathers of children in different age ranges, racial/ethnic groups and socioeconomic conditions, nonresidential fatherhood and relationship complexity in remarried family systems, and family policy influences on father-child interaction.
