Bob.Emde@UCHSC.eduDr. Emde's research concerns the study of social-emotional development in young children and most recently the evaluation of early preventative evaluations. Past projects have involved studies of emotional development using longitudinal observations in both home and laboratory, experimental studies of emotional signaling processes (e.g., social referencing) and studies of emotional development within the family system. "Emotional availability," empathy, and moral development are topics of both clinical and theoretical interest. Other studies have included the onset of walking, the onset of expressive language, and the representation of emotion themes and family conflict in preschooler narratives. Current projects involve both theoretical and applied studies of Early Head Start sites that serve families and young children living in poverty environments and in varying cultural settings.
