Research interests:To understand why some parents are effective and others destructive, Dr. Dix examines the anger, anxiety, joy, and other emotions parents activate with children; beliefs parents have about what children are thinking and feeling at each moment; and the goals parents are attempting to promote when interacting with their children. His research centers on how these psychological aspects of parents influence the behaviors that parents and children display and the course of their interactions.
