About
Dr. Sara R. Berzenski is an assistant professor at California State University Northridge (CSUN) and principal investigator of the Reaching Emotions Across Childhood Lab. She earned her PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of California, Riverside. Dr. Berzenski's research explores how emotion knowledge and regulation develop in facilitating and adverse childrearing contexts, from a developmental psychopathology perspective. Specifically, she is interested in the processes by which emotional development is altered following child maltreatment, as well as how emotion competence skills mitigate the consequences of such adversity on adaptation. To address these questions she employs diverse quantitative analytic techniques and measurement approaches, and applies a developmental perspective to quantitative issues. Her program of research focuses on child maltreatment, the development of emotion competence, and domains of self-regulation.
