John E. Bates studies how children's early experiences, temperament, and family environments shape their emotional, social, and behavioral development over time. Much of the work uses long-term (longitudinal) studies to track how factors like early adversity, self-regulation, and conduct problems in childhood relate to outcomes in adolescence and adulthood, such as substance use, relationships, and antisocial behavior.
