Dr. Anderson specializes in the adjustment of children and families to parental divorce and remarriage. His interests include understanding how divorced parents' dating and repartnering affects children and family relationships, how divorced parents balance the potentially competing demands of their personal and parenting lives, how family members respond to and deal with conflict, and how prevention programs affect divorcing or at-risk-for-divorce families. Dr. Anderson has published in numerous journals, including Journal of Family Psychology, Journal of Marriage and Family, and Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development. He has received grant support from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of Mental Health.
