Research Investigating Growth and Health Trajectories |
![]() |
The RIGHT Track Research Project focuses on the development
and developmental trajectories of early disruptive behavior. This research is funded by National Institute of Mental
Health and is conducted in collaboration with Dr. Susan Calkins, Dr. Susan Keane, and Dr. Lilly Shanahan of the Psychology Department, and
Dr. Marion O'Brien of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies. The project involves 350 young children
and their families from Guilford County, N.C. who have been followed from age 2 to age 10. This study is examining the
contextual, familial, and child characteristics that may contribute to early academic and social success versus challenging
disruptive behavior. |
