Bio/Research
Dr. Arcus is interested in the social development of children and youth in the contexts of family, school and community. Her earlier studies of the interaction of infant temperament and maternal style as predictors of social behavior were among the first research findings using observational data to support nature-nurture interactions in children. More recently, she has focused on the development of children with disabilities through school transitions, the beliefs of educators about these children, and the experience of parents in negotiating this development. She also works closely with the MA Department of Social Services on issues related to the well being of children in foster care, especially those aging out of care.
