Most children in the U.S. today will experience one or more changes in family structure during their childhoods. Dr. Ryan will present research on the implications of this trend for child development. Using data from the Maternal and Child Supplement of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 3,492), Dr. Ryan’s research estimates how different types of changes in family structure experienced during four different developmental periods relate to concurrent and subsequent changes in children’s behavioral trajectories. In addition to developmental period, changes in family structure have different implications for children born to married parents and those born to unwed parents (i.e., “fragile families”).
Dr. Ryan is currently an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Georgetown University. Before joining the faculty at Georgetown, Dr. Ryan earned her Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University and completed an NIH-funded Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy Studies.
