Amie Hane’s work focuses on the social regulation of reactivity to stress and novelty, including examination of 1) the role of early-occurring maternal caregiving behavior in shaping stress physiology and behavioral reactivity; and 2) the dynamic interplay between quality of caregiver-child interactions and child temperament in shaping the development of risk and resilience across development. Topics Studied in the Temperament, Emotion, and Relationship Processes Laboratory (TERP Lab ) include: Maternal caregiving behavior, maternal expressed emotion, interpretive bias, infant/child temperament, neuroendocrine and cardiac reactivity to stress, behavioral inhibition, behavioral exuberance, social competence, and health and behavioral risk from infancy through middle childhood.
