Her primary focus is on parental educational attainment and how it can influence the development of the home environment throughout childhood, adolescence, and the transition to adulthood. Davis-Kean is also a Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research where she directs the Population, Neurodevelopment, and Genetics (PNG) program. This collaboration examines the complex transactions of brain, biology, and behavior as children and families develop across time. She is interested in how both the micro (brain and biology) and macro (family and socioeconomic conditions) aspects of development relate to cognitive changes in children across the lifespan. Dr. Tang is a Research Investigator in the Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research and jointly affiliated with the Psychology Department at the University of Michigan. Her program of research focuses on the role of the family, school, and environment in shaping children’s educational success, especially for those children who grow up in risky contexts. In particular, Tang is interested in the extent to which cultural and socioeconomic factors shape parenting behaviors, and in turn, children's academic outcomes.
