OverviewAI-generated summary
Lin Tan's research investigates developmental psychology, focusing on children's emotional development and family dynamics. Her work examines how children's negative affectivity relates to their mothers' emotional expressivity over time. Tan also studies changes in children's attachment security to parents following the birth of a sibling, exploring risk and resilience factors within families. She has investigated growth in children's emotion understanding across early childhood, particularly during the transition to siblinghood, and has explored adrenocortical interdependence in father-infant and mother-infant dyads.
In addition to developmental research, Tan has published on the effectiveness of brief alcohol interventions, utilizing meta-analytic approaches. Her publications include analyses of statistical models for reporting count outcomes in intervention trials and the efficacy of motivational interventions for college students' drinking behavior. Her scholarly contributions include 26 publications with an h-index of 8 and 187 citations.
