Mona El-Sheikh (Ph.D., 1989, West Virginia University) is an Alumni Professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at Auburn University. Her research program focuses on associations among family risk, especially destructive marital conflict, and child outcomes across multiple domains. Her research has emphasized a biopsychosocial approach for the development of adjustment, social, cognitive, and physical health problems in the context of family risk, especially assessments of the intervening role of physiological (e.g., autonomic nervous system activity) and biological (e.g., sleep) regulation in the context of family adversity and child development.
"Toward greater specificity in the prediction of externalizing problems in the context of interparental conflict, interactions between children's parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system (PNS and SNS) activity were examined as moderators."--cf. back cover.
