Welcome

The Parent-Child Institute (PCI) at ÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ-New York City is an academic research institute located in lower Manhattan. The PCI embraces the following goals:

  1. Fostering research on parents and children
  2. Securing grant and other funding
  3. Providing advanced students with research experiences
  4. Offering presentations regarding parents and children to academic and community organizations
  5. Disseminating research findings.

Current PCI research activities involve the creation of developmentally sensitive, evidence-based parenting workshops to be accessed through the Internet. Based on the Parent Development Theory (PDT) and the Working With Parents Manual (WWPM), six brief developmentally sensitive parenting workshops are in production. The six workshops provide research participants with a workshop associated with parenting children at six lifespan-specific developmental levels (i.e., infant/toddlers, preschoolers, elementary school aged children, adolescents, late adolescents, and adult-aged children).

The parenting workshop study posits a number of research questions, such as: After viewing an online parenting workshop, do participantsÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ™ parenting goals, perceptions of influences on their parenting behaviors and/or the importance of specific parenting behaviors associated with the PDT, change, and does viewing a one-session parenting workshop increase participantsÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ™ perceived importance of positive parenting behaviors and decrease the importance of negative parenting behaviors?

In addition to the PCI parenting workshop study, members are examining an extant data set which examines parenting young children during COVID-19. The data set is rich in terms of the data collected during the latter part of 2020, such as child temperament, demographic information, parenting behaviors, and stress and coping. Finally, PCI members also explore their own research interests involving parents and children.

Some of the previous research considered how the importance of parenting behaviors changed during COVID-19, by examining a large data set of parenting importance ratings prior to COVID-19 and comparing that data to research collected on parenting during COVID-19.

Prior to, during, and after COVID-19, a 10 session, parent training program, the Working With Parents Manual (WWPM), was examined. Initially an IRB approved study utilizing an in-person format, the study was reconceptualized, due to COVID-19, as a telehealth parent training opportunity. That study concluded during 2024, and the results were presented as a PSYD doctoral dissertation/project and is being prepared for publication consideration.

Finally, research is being conducted on parenting in conjunction with individual adversity, resilience, and other factors, ethnic diversity in relation to parenting behaviors and beliefs, and parenting in conjunction with child development outcomes.
