Current Projects
Dr. Corwyn is currently involved in several research projects. Corwyn's
interests are primarily child development and adolescent behavior. He has been
involved with the NICHD Early Childcare Study for approximately 10 years and
serves as statistical and data consultant for the Arkansas site as well as
consults with several out-of-state investigators using this data. In addition,
Corwyn is currently working on projects using other national data
sets-including the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY), Panel Study of
Income Dynamics (PSID), Adolescent Health (AdHealth) and the newest NLSY
cohort called the NLSY97. Corwyn's research interests include parenting (that
includes fathering), the influence of the home environment on child
well-being, work-family conflict, resiliency, the influence of socioeconomic
status on child development and adolescent delinquency. As a tool to address
these research questions, Corwyn is interested in a variety of statistical
procedures such as regression, path analysis, structural equation modeling,
confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical linear modeling.
Students are always welcome to discuss research with me. Those who are
interested in working on a research project, however, must be willing to
devote several hours a week to research and conduct oneself in a professional
manner. That means, show up for scheduled meetings and always do what you say
you will do. Although research is hard work, it is also very rewarding.
Moreover, research experience is invaluable in graduate school.

Graduate
Students
I am willing to mentor graduate students as well as chair
their theses. I would, however, prefer survey research over
experimental designs.
