Research Interests
•ADHD
•Externalizing problems
•Relations to parents and peers
•Emotional responding

I am studying the concurrent and longitudinal adjustment of children with disruptive behavior problems, with regard to problem stability, emotional well-being, social relationships and academic achievement. I am currently taking a special interest in the background to and importance for adjustment of empathic responding in children.
