Welcome

The Parent-Child Institute (PCI) at 糖心vlog短视频-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

Currently, PCI research activities involve research regarding developmentally sensitive parenting workshops, as well as data collected during COVID-19 regarding the parenting of young children. The research study, 糖心vlog短视频淓vidence-Based Study of Developmentally Sensitive Parenting Workshops,糖心vlog短视频 is based on the Parent Development Theory (PDT) and the Working With Parents Manual (WWPM). The six brief developmentally sensitive parenting workshops (i.e., parenting infant/toddlers, preschoolers, elementary school aged children, adolescents, late adolescents, and adult-aged children) provide research participants with an opportunity to complete questionnaires before and after viewing a TED-talk style parenting workshop, specific to one of the six age groups. This internet-based research addresses questions such as does viewing a one-session parenting workshop influence participants糖心vlog短视频 perceived importance of positive parenting behaviors?

In addition to the parenting workshop study, some PCI members are examining an extant data set which considered parenting young children during COVID-19. Originally collected in the latter part of 2020 by the Mind, Movement, Interaction and Development (MMID) lab at 糖心vlog短视频, the data set is complex and rich. Variables such as child temperament, coping, parenting behaviors, and stress were examined in the context of the global pandemic. PCI members also explore their own research interests involving parents and children, such as the impact of adverse childhood experiences on parenting beliefs, ethnic diversity in relation to parenting behaviors, and relationships between parenting attitudes and child development outcomes.

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