Olivia C. Robertson studies how biological stress and hormone systems (such as cortisol, testosterone, and DHEA, often measured in hair samples) relate to development across the lifespan, with a particular focus on pregnancy, puberty, and adolescent stress. Her work also examines family dynamics, such as parent-child relationships and the transmission of psychological and behavioral problems across generations, as well as links between early growth, puberty timing, and body weight. Much of this research uses long-term longitudinal or adoption-based study designs to track how biological and family factors shape development over time.
Publication output has fluctuated but shows a generally increasing trend over the past decade, rising from about 1 paper per year in 2017 to a peak of 6 in 2024, with an average of 2.8 papers per year over the last five years.
