Kimberly A. Updegraff studies family relationships in Mexican-origin and other Latino/Latinx families, with particular attention to sibling relationships, parent-child interactions, and how cultural values, discrimination, and ethnic-racial identity shape children's and adolescents' development. Her work often uses longitudinal and daily-diary methods to track how these family dynamics change from childhood through young adulthood, and she has also contributed to developing and testing family-based prevention programs for Latino families.
