In two complementary lines of research, Dr. Faherty examines a) parenting practices in relation to emerging adult well-being and adjustment, and b) identifies microlevel cultural foundations of the parent-emerging adult child relationship in order to tease apart the construct of “culture.” Together, her research foci aim to clarify the impact of parenting practices on emerging adults as a function of both broader and microlevel socio-contextual influences in order to delineate protective and risk factors for adjustment and well-being.
