Lauree Tilton-Weaver is a Professor at Örebro University, Sweden, affiliated with the School of Behavioural, Social and Legal Sciences and the Department of Behavioural, Social and Legal Sciences. Her research focuses on adolescent development, particularly autonomy and internalizing problems such as self-harm and depressive symptoms. She examines how parenting and peer relationships influence adolescent adjustment, with a theoretical emphasis on governance transfer, a model of parental control and autonomy negotiation. She has authored/co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed articles and edited volumes, including the influential Cambridge Handbook of Parental Monitoring and Information Management during Adolescence. Tilton-Weaver serves as Assistant Editor for Journal of Adolescence and has held leadership roles in international research societies. Her current projects include longitudinal studies on non-suicidal self-injury and collaborations with global scholars to understand adolescent mental health interventions.
Education details are not explicitly listed, but her career spans academic roles from 1998, reflecting extensive doctoral/postdoctoral training in developmental psychology.
Research interests span adolescent autonomy (e.g., maturity gaps, parental control) and internalizing problems (e.g., self-harm mechanisms, depressive symptoms). Her work bridges theory and practice, with applied studies on interventions and peer influences. Recent publications (2021–2025) highlight sleep patterns, anger dysregulation, and sport participation’s role in self-harm prevention.
She collaborates with institutions like the Karolinska Institute and international teams across North America, Europe, and Asia. Her edited volumes and handbook underscore contributions to parental monitoring frameworks. Grants and awards are not detailed here, but her editorial roles and funded projects (e.g., SHHRC, FAS) indicate sustained research support.
