BioSketch
Andrew Grogan-Kaylor's current research focuses on the effects of schools, neighborhood, and parenting on outcomes for children, as well as the structure of children's behavior problems. Much of his current research agenda focuses on corporal punishment, and he has published several pieces using longitudinal data and advanced statistical methods indicating that parental use of corporal punishment is associated with increases in children's antisocial behavior. Along with several faculty and PhD student collaborators, he has published research demonstrating strong connections between reduced neighborhood risk and better academic outcomes. His research is strongly quantitative and most often makes use of large nationally representative data sets as well as sophisticated longitudinal and multilevel methodologies. Other areas of research/scholarly interest: foster care placement dynamics, youth aging out of foster care, the community antecedents of child maltreatment, the relationship of family, neighborhood, and school indicators with school success.
