Dr. Kiff Bio:

Dr. Cara Kiff’s research aims to understand how transactions among contextual, interpersonal, and intrapersonal factors translate into allostatic processes in which children’s physiology adapts to stress, adversity, and trauma. Her work examines the role of socioeconomic stress, parent mental health problems, parenting behaviors, and parent military service in shaping emotional and stress reactivity and regulation from early childhood through early adulthood. Her studies examine diathesis-stress interactions and bidirectional relations between children’s developmental context and multi-determined measures of emotion regulation, including: physiological reactivity and regulation, behavioral observations, and self-regulation. Dr. Kiff’s work has been supported through grants from NIH, the American Psychological Foundation, private foundations.
