Julia Braungart-Rieker, Ph.D.

Dr. Braungart-Rieker earned her PhD from Pennsylvania State University and is currently an associate professor at the University of Notre Dame. She is interested in how children's characteristics (such as gender and temperament), parenting practices (both the mother's and father's roles), and contextual factors (such as family earner status and marital satisfaction), relate to outcomes in emotion regulation, parent-child attachment security, and children's compliance and autonomy.
