RESEARCH INTERESTS
Daphne Bugental combines insights from social, developmental, and evolutionary
psychology in studying the processes that regulate interpersonal interaction. Her research
concerns factors that predict or prevent physically or emotionally damaging responses to
stigmatized others, for example, children born at medical risk, immigrant populations, and
older adults. As one example, mothers who manifest a sense of powerlessness are more
likely to demonstrate harsh or abusive tactics with “at risk” infants. Such responses are
preventable when mothers participate in an intervention that leads to reduced maternal
depression and enhanced “investment” in “at risk” children. Children, in turn, show
reduced stress (as measured by their cortisol levels), which in turn predicts higher levels of
cognitive performance and physical health at older ages.
