- Education: Ph.D. in Human Development (UC Davis), Minor in Quantitative Psychology
- Postdoctoral Training: Psychology and Neuroscience (UNC Chapel Hill)
Her research examines social, cognitive, and neurobiological processes in adolescent development, utilizing longitudinal interdisciplinary methods such as behavioral coding of family interactions, questionnaires assessing relationships and well-being, and brain imaging to study social influence on decision-making. Key themes include sibling and parent roles in positive youth development, behavioral regulation, and neural correlates of risk-taking.
Recent publications highlight sibling relationships, parental mental health during the pandemic, social buffering mechanisms, and neural pathways linking family dynamics to adolescent outcomes. Dr. Rogers' work emphasizes the family's integrative role in shaping developmental trajectories across adolescence.
