Lead by Dr. Blair Wheaton, our team brings together scholars working to better specify and address critical issues involving gender egalitarian attitudes, family life, social contexts, mental health, and stress. Following up on the earlier Toronto Family Study provides insights into the intertwined development of these factors over the life course to improve understanding on the contribution of early life family contexts for adult development.
